Northern Central, a division of the Penn

Baltimore, on Saturday, 1890 cars load
ed with grain for export, and there was
elevator room nor steamships II
to unload it.
Many people have wondered why the
change in the running Of the first and sec
ond sections OF Nos. l and 2 had been made,
Pullman section now running ffst.
This is because a law was found prohibit
ing a passenger train from running with.
a baggage car between the coach and
the engine, and as the law also says that
the mail shall be carried on the first sec
ton of all trains, it requires that the Pull
man section shall run first.
