Trains ION Time"

We have long had an idea that the
best advertisement any railroad could
present would be the statement, sup
ported by facts, that its trains were
always ION time" The Rock Island
seems to be working in that direction
in running its Colorado flyer.
Without any attempt to make a
record but with only the usual time
card rules governing this train run
ming daily between Kansas City,
Pueblo, Colorado Springs and Denver,
made the phenomenal record Of being
late but twice during the month Of
January, 1901. Considering the
length Of the run, 66S miles, and the
average speed Of So miles per hour
including all stops, this is remark
able performance for a railroad train
especially during the wintry month
OF January. The distance is 66S
miles to Pueblo from Kansas City.
The two flyers, trains, trains No. 8
and 10, cover this distance during
each "a hours making total mileage
of 1886 miles per day. For the
month of January, these trains cover
ed 10000 miles and required l,O40
hours to reel off this distance at the
rate Of over 3S miles per hour. In
order to make this average rate, per
hour, 1t must be remembered that the
actual running time Of the flyers be-
tween stations approaches 50 miles
per hour. There are 27 stops to be
made on each trip.
