The New York WOrtd, in an answer TO
a correspondent, says: No train on any
railroad in the world has ever made a
schedule time OF one mile per minute.
The highest schedule time made by any
railroad in the world is made in the
United States, and il is the best because
il is the longest as well as the highest.
Trains in this country run every day over
a mile minute between stations, and
special trains have made as high as a
rate of - miles per hour. The Flving
Scotchman averages "A miles per hour,
the Flying Dutcaman So miles an hour,
and the w i'd lrishmsn 40 miles an hour.
The average for the Garrett and Paine r
special train from san Francisco TO New
York, distance OF 5000 miles, was 40
miles per hour. This is equal to the fast
est squirt of the Flying Dutchman from
London TO Exeter.
