,,n to the present time. He has earned the distinction of being an up-to-date twentieth century locomotive engineer and B signal ability merited his assign ment to the new Twentieth century Limited
 "Fleming comes of family of engi- neers. His brother, D. A. Fleming, en- tered the service of the locomotive de- partment at the close of the civil war, and has made for himself record Tor high speed and careful running. He was assigned to the Worlds Fair Flyer which was then the fastest long distance train in the world. Since that time he has been taking his place of 'puller' or The New York and Chicago fast govern mental mail trains between Toledo and Elkhart The brothers are men Of ripe iudgment kccn eyesight. and quick de- rision. They are deeply interested Tn their work an re well and faVoraoly known. not only by railroad men on the Lake Shore but ---rouEhout the states.
 Little Flem's' fireman on the limit ed" will be J. l.. Morehouse, who has been employed on the Lake Shore since 1891. He has Gispayed signal ability In his line of work. A short time ago he was promoted to passenger fireman. He is A resident of EllShart, and Is one or the best men on the Michigan Southern ulvision of the Lake Shore road
 Great Nervous Strain.
 The nervous tension of running at high speed Is so great that the engineers and firemen of the twenty hour trains on both roads will probably only work one day in three. Railway experts say this would be the main draw. ack to an eighteen hour special If a man is expected to work only one day in three when he runs a twenty-hour train he would be expect cd to work only ne day in four if two hours more were cut off the schedule.
 Engine 60i of the Lake Shore road, which will pull the limited out of Chicago Is known as the class r. locomotive. It is practically brand new. Its weight is 1745O0 pounds and the weight of the tender 124,50 pounds. It carries 6600 gal Ions of water, and its coal capacity Is 96.00O pounds.
 On the entire trip from Chicago to New York about forty tons of coal will be con sumed. and about 50,O00 gallons of water used Engine GOT has an eighty-inch driv- ing wheel and 20h by g inch cylinder. I ..e steam pressure Is 200 pounds The wide fire-box Is after a design made by young Vanderbilt, who was cut off by his father with A paltry S4.00o.OOo because he married Miss Wilson against the wishes of the "pater" After this he at once demonstrated to the world his ability tc 'hoe his own row" by inventing severa machines ard additions to locomotives that have proved successful.
 Revolutions of Drivers.
 The drivers of the Lake Shore engine: used on this trip to New York re volve on an average of 202 times a min ute, 12.12O times an hour. and 243O0 times during the entire journey. On leav irg Chicago stops will be made at Thirty first street and at Englewood, the next stop being at Elkhart, ,ha md of the d. vision. at 2:40 D. =. will not be pos sible O do any fast running until after the train passes One Hundredth street Water will be taken from the track tank located between Burdick and Otic.
 The next stop after leaving Elkhart will be Toledo. at 5:22 p. m. On the TUT betwen Elkhart and oledr there is long straight stretch of particularly leve track. beginning rear Kendailville anC continuing to Toledo, on which 1t is ex pected an unusual burst of speed will b. made. Where the fastest time will b. made will be on the smoothest stretches of track and thus the high rate of speed at which the train is traveing will hard ly be realized by the passengers. Ceve land will be reached at TAO D. m.. BuIfalC at Il 30 D. m, and Albany at G:30 o'clocl in the morning. thus affording dayngh ride along the Hudson river to New York city
 Engine 164. which will pull the Penn. sylvania Special out of Chicago, Is o1 the Atlantic "E 2" type It's weight ir working order, is 176o0 pounds (210t pounds heavier than engine GOT of the Lake Shore) and .ts tender. when loaded weighs, approximately 143.s0O pounds The capacity of the water tank is 7O0 gallons There are two driving wheels or each side of the engine which go twenty two feet at each revolution of the drivers
