The morning call., 1890-11-18
ALONG THE RAIL.
The New Schedule Not Favored
by the Union Pacific.
A Death-Bow TO the Tourist Excursion Bust
ness-Pullman Put Off His Sleeping
Cars-Heavy Travel Promised.

The joint time schedule recently agreed
upon at Ogden by officials of the Southern
Pacific, Union Pacific, Denver and Rio
Grande and other lines, does not seem to
please at least one party to the contract. and
for some unknown reason the Union Paci-
fc's officials have refused to make passen-
ger connections at Ogden with the Southern
Pacific second-class train, which by the new
timetable leaves this city at Z 80 o'clock in
the morning.
The train referred to now arrives at Ogden
at O'Clock in the morning Pacific time, or s
o'clock mountain time. The Union Pac fic
train leaves Ogden at 80 o'clock in the
morning mountain time, or about all hour
and half before the Southern Pacific train
arrives. By this strange combination over
land passengers are obliged TO remain in
Ogden over night. The Union Pacific's
General Agent here knows nothing of the
affair, further than the facts above stated.
He has not even been instructed TO inform
passengers of the lay-over at Ogden, neces-
STATED by the new order of things, and is
somewhat in a quandary concerning this
strange and unprecedented action Oh the
part of the officials at Ogden.
AN END TO TOURIST CARS.
A telegram received here yesterday by a
| general agent of an Eastern road froma rep
resentative at the meeting of the Trunk Line
Association states that the trunk lines have
agreed to discontinue the running OF tourist
cars over trunk-line territory, either In
| special or regular service. This puts an end
to tourist-car excursion business east Of
| Chicago, and the probable cause OF this new
| departure is a general Decentralization OF
frst-class rates, which has gradually been
manifeSting itself for some time. In this re-
| gard the lines east OF Chicago have been
| seriously interfered with i'll The handling oil
| firSt-class business The lines in this city
which handle tourist business over trunk
line territory, and which Will consequently
be effected by the new agreement, are the
Michigan Central and Lake Shore, which
comprise the Vanderbilt system, the
Wabash and Grand Trunk, or the Niagara
Falls Short Line. the New York, Lake Elle
and Western. the Pennsylvania and the
Baltimore and Ohio. The above-named
lines also represent nearly all roads running
out of st. Louis which will be Interested In
