A RAILROADS ROMANCE.
How the Lake Shore Was Built Up From
an Unpromising beginning.

How tho Lake Shore Was Built Up From
an Unpromising beginning.
The consolidation of the Lake Shore
and Michigan Southern railroad with
the New York Central will close tho
separate existence of one of the three
most interesting roads in tho country.
The first railroads in England and the
United States were opened in the same
year. 1880. 1t is creditablo to the cour-
age and enterprise of the west that the
earliest links of the Lake Shore were
projected in 1895. and that one of them,
the Eric and Kalamazoo, was begun in
that year ard finished and operated in
1887.
The rails used were long joists of
wood, with iron straps spiked to them
Once in awhile one of these straps would
work loose at one end and thrust itself
up through the floor of the car in an in
qniring sort of way. These phenomena
were known as "snake heads;" also by
other endearing names. OF course when
a snake head came through the floor the
train stopped, as the motive power was
slight.
Cleveland picture of the first train
ever run over the Eric and Kalamazoo.
1t had tiny locomotive without a cab,
combined baggage, freight and fuel
car as big rs IA coal flat of today, and
one passenger coach seating apparently
about 30 people This chr had Gothic
windows and doors like a church and
pitched roof of considerable height,
sloping to front and back
Stockholders in those days had tho
right to use the tracks with their wag-
ons, getting wheels that would fit the
rails, jnst AS wagons now run upon
street railway tracks. The Wagons
weren't in the way, for trains were slow
and infrequent Once Fred Avery made
33 miles in three hours ON the Erie and
Kalamazoo. Although this was in IS49,
when the system was not exactly new,
Superintendent Bradbury called Avery
into his office and told him that il he
were ever again guilty Of such reckless
ness ho would be discharged.
OF course train crew was not very
large in the early days in the west The
engineer collected the fares and the fire.
man handled the baggage and freight
all trains carrying both-loaded wood
for the engineer and dipped water for
the boiler from some convenient ditch
with pail.
The Michigan Southern was the fur
thest west of the little neighborhood
lines forming the Lake Shore For years
il bad its western terminus at New Bnf-
faio, on Lake Michigan, no one having
much faith in Chicago except its resi-
dents. Not until lS49 was the change
to Chicago made.
In the course of time dozen of the
little Teads We're consolidated, though
this was not until after the civil war,
and thus became the lake Shore sys-
tenn. 1t fell under Vandorbilts control
in 1873. and has practically been run
in harmony with the Central ever since.
