is Warren county, Tennessee. 1t lies
almost exactly in the geographical

almost as near perfect circle as any
division of land could possibly be. The
circle would be perfect but for the
fact that there is short stretch of the

Average time, excluding stops, 57.54
miles per hour.
Tie first stop maze by the train after
leaving Chicago was at Sixteenth street
for supplies, where four minutes were
consumed. At Aurora the travelling en-
gineer took one minute to look the en-
CINE over and the train ran without a
stop until Mendoza was reached, when
three minutes more were consumed for
the same purpose. A total of twenty
one stops was made between Chicago
and Denver, consuming in all sixty
four minutes. The longest stop was
made at Red Oak, Ia, where engines
we're changed ON account OF a hot
truck. At this point the fastest run
of the trip was made. Soon after leav-
ing Creston it was discovered that a
box on one Of the engine trucks was
heating, but in spite of this fact the
run of thirty-six miles was made in
thirty-four minutes. At Villisca a
fresh engine was substituted and the
run to Red Oak, fifteen miles, was
made in as many minutes.
Over long stretches Of road between
McCook and Denver the train made
more than a mile a minute for dis
tances Of forty to sixty miles. Six en-
pineers took the train from Chicago to

c., p. O. O, AccoMPLIsHES A
GREAT FEAT.
Special Train of the Burlington Route
Runs from Chicago to Denver, 1923
MileS, at an Average Speed of Nearly
SO Miles an Hour.

The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
Railroad has just accomplished the
greatest feat the world has ever known
for long-distance fast running.
1t was made In a race against death
to carry Henry ]. Mayham of New
York to the bedside of his dying son in
Denver.
The distance from Chicago to Dem
yer, 1.025 miles, was covered in ex-
actly 1,O69 minutes actual running
time. This Is only small fraction
less than one mile minute for the
longest continuous run ever made by
any railroad In the world.
It was run made in the ordinary
course OF business. No special prepa-
ration whatever had been contem-
plated for the trip. In exactly forty
four minutes from the time the order
for the train was received the throttle
of the engine was pulled open and the
train glided out of the Union Depot on
race which surprised railroad men
the world over.
The engine which took the train on
the first run out Of Chicago to Gales
burg had just come in from Aurora
pulling regular passenger train. No
time was spent in cleaning up, but 1t
was quickly turned around, attached to
the special train and manned by the
same engineer who had brought 1t to
Chicago. Not more than half dozen
officials or employees Of the road knew
the trip was to be made This fact is
the most important in the history OF
the great feat, as 1t demonstrates the
superb physical condition Of the road
and the perfect management which en-
ables such remarkable time to be
maintained for more than thousand
miles.
The time made by the record-break-
Ing train is as follows, including all
stops:
