Ever since the Empire State express train
has been running from New York City to
Buffalo over the New York Central and Hud-
son River railroad there has been desire on
the part of some persons interested to have
a similar fast train to run clear through to
Chicago. The matter came up for discussion
at a meeting of the presidents of the Wander
bilt roads recently, and il was decided to be-
gin such train service on April 80. The
tram is to leave the Grand Central depot
every day at p. IN. and arrive in Chicago at
10 O'Clock the following morning. This makes
its time nineteen hours, or five hours less than
the fastest train which is now scheduled over
any road. 1t will consist of FIVE coaches, one
buffet combination coach. one dining coach
and three sleepers.
