ceilence of the train furnished by the
Baltimore and Ohio Company. THE Bal
timore and Ohio Company is a new road, A"
saiG Colonel Cowardin TO the American
correspondent this afternoon. THE trip
across the mountains on She train which
the Baltimore ara Ohio furnished was a
revelation to me I'm railroad travel. The
equipment OF the train itself was superb,
while the rOadDed is now unsurpassed.
Time was when ii journey over the noun
tains on the Baltimore and Ohio was an
achievement greater than crossing the
ocean. But now the grades have been so
reduced the curves Strengthened, and the
rolling stock so improved that a mountain
journey is a constant comfort and plea
sure"
All the members of the party spoke in
equal appreciation of the care and atten-
ton which the railroad company lavshed
on the travellers. There were a number
of ladies on the train, all of whom en-
joyed the trip thoroughly. The train
crews were picked men. while the service
in the cars was faultless.
