crowd present at the depot to witness the
arrival Of the trains.
There were some remarkable bursts OF
speed during the trip. Several times

The Northwestern left its two brakemen
at one point on the line. When the train
stopped they got off to turn around, and
when they had completed the circuit the
train was gone. The actual lapsed time
from the start at Chicago to arrival at
the local depot was as follows:
Northwestern 492 miles. with IS stops, Q
hours and IS minutes.
Burlington. 502 miles, with II stops, 10
hours and Z minutes.
The previous record was held by the
Northwestern, having been made with a
special train carrying a party of railroad
officials to the Exposition.

any important advantage and that the
time can be materially reduced IL it should
