the run from Denver to Santa Fe in less

R. G. express is Just fifteen hours ahead
of our competitor in business"

The south bound train over the narrow

thirty miles an hour, and left the track,
rolling ,ver. Both sleepers we're full and
the passengers we're badly jostled but
none were seriously injured.
