Wonderful speed on tho Eeadlur,s seashors
Lima ft


AS almost everybody IS looking
forward to trip to the seashore during
the summer, the following account,
from tho Philadelphia Record Of re-
markably fast trip from Philadelphia
to, Atlantic City will be found interest
ing:
For several weeks past rumors have
beon in circulation to tho effect that
either or both Of the railroads between
Philadelphia and Atlantic City have
in contemplation a further reduction
in the time of express trains between
this city and the seashore Up to this
time neither the Pennsylvania nor the
Reading has given official eountenance
to these reports, but IL has been con
elusively demonstrated that one of the
limos Is able easily to cut the time
down to one hour for the round trim,
including ferriage across the Delaware.
On Wednesday the Reading Rail
roads -four o'clock flyer" made the
quickest trip ever accomplished by a
regular train, and established "a new
record for regular travel between Phila-
delphia and Atlantic City. In pre-
cisely So minutes from the time the
ferry boat left Chestnut stroot wharf
the train was brought to standstill in
the depot ut Atlantic City The 5515
miles between Camden and Atlantic
City was traversed in i6 minutes, show
ing that the Reading is not only cap
ablo of pegging down the time to Go
minutes from city TO seashore, but can
even, IL desirable, better this consum-
nation of what has been the dream Of
railroad mon for years.
The engine making the phenomenal
run was the "Num Der 1926" one Of
the locomotives recently built at Bald
wins for fast seashore service. II
hauled the usual train of one Pullman
and six heavy coaches. No special
effort was made to break the record"
and the passengers were not aware that
they were assisting in notable feat
of railroading.
The whole Of the Readings Atlantic
City line has recently been relaid with
extra heavy steel rails which, with tho
additional protection afforded by the
complete automatic block signal sys-
tom, enables much higher speed to be
attained than heretofore, while ut tho
samo time adding to the security Of
travel.
