AFTER a tremendous lot Of advertising for
S25, the Lehigh Valley railroad officials have
found a name for their new flyer" from
New York to Buffalo, which is to knock the
Pennsylvania Railroads Limited, the Royal
Blue Line and the Empire State Express into
the shades of innocuous desuetude, and the
name they have discovered is that old chest
nut, "Blacl Diamond" Great heavens
Just think of giving farmer from Ohio $50
for such a suggestion He ought to have had
gold brick or one of those same "black
diamonds" Now if instead of such a worm
eaten old chestnut as this they had called it
Lees Lightning Lehgh Flyer" or if that
is not deferential enough to the predominant
ing family influence, how would it do to call
it "Rolly Wilbur's Whirler2" Or even use
it to advertise the family business and label
il "Wilburs Trust" but to give an Ohio
farmer S25 for The Black DiamondEXpress
suggests the proprety Of calling it the
Farmers Bunco Express" in honor Of the
fellow who got the S25 in such a slick fashion
for his chestnut. Thirty years ago the Read
ing railroad had locomotive bearing this
name and for several years past one of their
little express engines has borne the same
name.
