VESTIBULE TRAINS TO CHICA
GO, :

The Vestibuie train is new factor
in western railroad transportation. 1t
is claimed for these trains that on &C.
count of there being connected by steel
hoods all danger of telescoping in case
of accident is removed. the train being
practically one long car. tits Ger
tain that the oscillation of the cars is
greatly reduced, and it is also certain
that the vestibule trains afford the
greatest comfort yet known to travellers.
The adoption of this style Of train BY
the Chicago, Santa Fe & California rail-
way between Kansas City and Chicago
is a strong bid for the passenger traf-
fc between the West and Chicago.
This new road is in many particulars
ahead of its older competitors, and will
undoubtedly be the popular road to
Chicago. tt
