Big Engine Is Speedy,

Railway men of all classes are Watch-
ing with much interest the tests of the
1920 series" of engines of the Rock
Island road, the largest running out OF
Chicago in passenger service. Engine
No. 1901 was given its first severe test
for power and speed last week. The
patrons of the Rock Islands first eX-
CursiOn to Colorado occupied fourteen
of the largest and heaviest coaches,
This was enough for two trains to be
pulled by ordinary passenger engines
of the day, considering the speed re-
quired. The big engine did all that
was expected of it and more. Between
Chicago and Rock Island it pulled that
train Of fourteen coaches with ease on
schedule time, and when called on for
a little extra effort developed a speed
of over seventy-two miles an hour.
Engines of that class will haul all
the special trains which will be used
by the Rock Island in its series of
Colorado excursions, at the rate of one
fare plus 50 for the round trip Three
more excursions will be given, leaving
here July Q, July II and August /. The
departing time of the special trains
will be AS p. m., but on the dates
named excursion tickets will also be
honored on all regular trains. The
special trains to be used are high class
throughout. Through dining car ser.
vice is provided and the run from Chi.
cago 10 Colorado is made with only one
night on the road, Excursion rates will
be made to Colorado and Utah from
all points on the line OF the Rock
Island between the Missouri river ana
Chicago Inter-Ocean.

superintendent A. c. Salisbury, Mas
ter Mechanic T. S. Lloyd and Superin-
tendent ]. NJ. Daily, of the Lackawanna
road, took one of the new hog" en-
gines to Mayfleld on the Ontario and
Western road yesterday afternoon, for
the purpose of testing its usefulness on
the grade there, which Is considerably
sleeper than any grade on the Dela-
ware, Lackawanna and Western road.
The enginemen on the Lackawanna
complain that 1t is a physical impossi-
bility for one man to fire" the big
locomotives to the required speed on
the many Lackawanna grades, and
have asked for an additional fireman
to assist in the work.
On the other hand, II has been DEM
onstrated by the officials that the en-
gines are equal to the emergency, and
that IL is possible for one man to per-
form the work, If the proper instruc-
tions are carried out. Instead of
building up steam before reaching the
grades, it is known that several fire.
men have put on coal' on the grade,
thus depicting the steam power. They
are expected to wait until the grade is
passed.
The test made yesterday was quite
satisfactory to the officials, and dem
onstrated that tfs engine and app!i-
ances are up to the standard repre-
sented by the locomotive builders.
Similar engines on the Ontario and
Western are operated without any diff
ficulty.

This and That.

1t is q settled fact now that the Erie
railroad will have new fast train be-
tween Cleveland and New York, with
a possible Pittsburg connection.
A deal has been consummated where

and st. Louis road The presumption
Is that the two roads will be operated
separately.
Duncan e. Wills, of Duncannon, have
purchased 4.100 acres of timber land
in Huntingdon county. AS it is situ-
ated ten miles from a railroad it Is re-
ported that a branch will be built con-
Meeting with the land.
Nos. ass and 459 of the new Central
passenger engines were received yes
terday from the Brooks Locomotive
works at Dunkirk, N. Y, and assigned
to the New York and New Jersey divis-
ions.
The Illinois Central sent out Of
Evansville last Thursday a solid train
of twenty cars loaded with 1000, 900
pounds of flour for Havana, and on
last Sunday 100000 pounds Of tobacco
en- route for Liverpool, England, and
Belfast, Ireland.
work mas been commenced on the
new passenger station of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad company at Elizabeth
town, Lancaster county. The build
ing will be of brick, 30x60 feet and
when finished will be one of the hand
soonest and most conveniently ar
ranged stations along the Philadelphia
division. 1t will require about 10000
cubic yards of earth to fill in around
the new station. owing to the recent
heavy rains a number of landslides
have occurred at the new cut at Eliza
bethtown, and the section gang has
been kept busy removing the earth
from the tracks and keeping a watch
for such occurrences.
