And this ~ the reason: ,.,, IT,,
Thrr. has been n story atloat in railroad cir
cles that :;SI of the Royal Blue Line service
did one mile Mt the ratio OF ~ miles an hour
one day in Novenher. Her cnEineer anu
1lrvmnn stou,iy maintain that this was SO. ~
thou.u tney had no stop watch Ior the sure
lest Some ralroadrrs believe them. Others
think they are mistaken. Jerry Creedet OF
6lN feels snio that nothing OF the kinu was
done lie believes in GlS. and he believes "lS
can make n rate Of 81 or oven lOo miles an
hour on tho right kind of y day. He hrnel
for ~ at least on this particular run which
was made last Monday. 49,,
SO he was not satisfied with his engines
record lie felt that fate hnu been against
him. Not that he blamed her OH no. IL
was the slppe:y track and the overcast SKY
that made it necessary to slow up now anu
then TO Get a certain look at the signals ahead.
When ono OF us said And Won think you can
heat forty seconds?' he set n determined look
in his eyes and answered: " am not the one
to boast. But give her dry track and clear
dav and wind back Of her. and know she
can knock Off five seconds or thereaDouts. l
know what she can do. Didn't YOU see how
easy che took forty seconds today"
And we who rode ut forty seconds the mile
astride OF her believed what he snid. For 0lo
is a performer that knows how to perform.
