ing at Portland part of the popular Port
land Limited
Train No. is a new one, running every
day but Sunday from Pennington to Port
land. 1t is expected that this train will
prove especially convenient to the people of
Auburn and Lewiston for the reason that it
will give them an opportunity TO reach Port
land at IL. 80 and have two hours there be-
fore the return of the noon train for Show
hogan.
Train No. II is the regular train from
Skowhegan to Portland which rams every
day but Sunday, and has Pullman car
from Waterville through 70 Boston. This
train will run express from Leeds Junction
to Portland, stopping only at Lewiston, Au-
burn and Danyille Junction.
Train No. II is a new one, which will
run every day but Sunday. This train will
run through FROM Bar llarbor and Bangor,
via Lewiston and Poland Springs, to Port
land, and thence to Boston. Heretofore
the morning train from Bar Harbor has de-
livered so many passengers to the Flying
Yankee" at Bangor that that train has been
made too heavy to make fast time. Fur
thermore, delay to the Flying Yankee
east of Bangor, caused corresponding de-
lay to all the Bar Harbor passengers. Both
these difficulties will be obviated by this new

The trains on the Maine Certral's branch
es will be more numerous than ever before,
ard better calculated to serve their patrons.
The motive power of the Maine Central
is not excelled by that of any railroad on
this continent The greater number of the
locomotives are powerful and of the most
modern design. Last wear - new locomo-
tives were purchased by the management,
and this year number of new ones have
been ordered which were designed with
especial reference to the heavy and fast

people may not know that the one thing
above all Others which ELECTS praise from
railroad men from other parts of the coun-
try is the, to them, wonderfully fine quality
of the Maine Central locomotives. This is
a fact which is especially pleasing to the
Maine Central management.
The passenger cars on the Maine Central
have always been good, but this year they
will be better than ever. In the first place
every passenger car on the road has been
painted, vanished. and thorough
ly renovated. In the second place, three
baggage and smoking cars, to
run ON the branches and on the short trains
five smoking cars, and l2 first class passen-
ger coaches are now being delivered TO the
Maine Central. All of these cars will be of
the best quality and decidedly superior
to any cars now owned by the road. In the
third place, there have been ordered
four vestibuled baggage cars, four vesti-
buled smoking ears, and 10 vestibuled pas
senger cars. These vestibuled smoking and
passenger cars are being built by the Pull
man Company, and will be the finest cars
ever built by that corporation, being ex-
celled only by the luxurious Pullman parlor

part of through vestibuled line between
Bar Harbor and Boston which will soon be
established. The Boston and Maine are
also having built large number of vesti-
buled cars, and as soon as these cars are
delivered, all the through trains between
Boston, Bangor and Mt. Desert Ferry will
be solidly vesiibuled. These vestibuled
trains will be run to Bangor all the year
round, and to Bar Harbor through the sum-
mer. This introduction of the vesiibuled
car to Maine railroading is an important
step, and one for which the arrangements
Of the Boston and Maine and the Maine
Central deserve the highest praise. A YES
ibuled train is not only infinitely more
to ride in but it is also infinite
y safer. The danger of falling from the
ar platform III transit from one car TO an
other Is entirely obviated, and it is claimed
hat In case of collision the vestibule pro-
ects the ear from serious damage.
The parior and sleeping cars which the
Pullman Company will run on the Maine
Central this summer will be of the best, and
must be patronized to be appreciated. All
n all the cars which the pat
IONS of the Maine Central will
nave at their disposal this summer will
