AS accustomed as are the people here,
to witnessing the departure OF immense
shipments of salt, a great cOncourse OF
citizens gathered to cheer the latest and
nuch-talked- about saline load which lett
Silver Springs at seven O'Clock this morn
ing according to schedule, on its journey
eastward over the Erie, Delaware &
Hudson and Boston & Maine Railroads.
When it IS considered that this tram
consists OF seventy-tWO cars, making
total length Of nearly mile, and that
salt is an extremely heavy commodity,
If will be quite apparent to even the lay
man. that it was impossible to haul the
bip train intact; so it went in two sec
tons. each section being drawn by two
Of the Erie Railroad Company's NAM
moth locomotives
The second section left at 7 O5 and
will be run five minutes behind section
one on its trip eastward.
1t was a splendid SIGHT. The cars were
paily decorated with flags, banners, etc,
each car being labelled with the name OF
the constance and its destination. Each
car was nearly double the capacity OF
the ordinary freight car, and all the cars
were fresh from the shops, beng OF the
latest design,-and all of the same size
and color, making tram such as is not
ordinarily seen.
The crowd cheered and whistles blew.
1t was indeed a spectacle not soon to be
forgotten in Silver Springs, the home OF
Worcester Salt.
From railroad officials it is learned
that this train is the best equipped
freight train ever moved in this country.
1t is fitted with air brakes and will be
run with the precision OF a hrst-cIaSs
passenger train.
To the person with passion for sta
tistcs. there are some startIng figures III
connection with this shipment.
Forexample: Itcontains nearly 5000
600 pounds of Worcester Salt for dairy
and household use; enough salt to sea
son 10000 900 pounds OF butter.
Mr.. NJ, T. Donovan, freight trathc
manager Of the Boston & Maine Rail
road system, states that this shipment is
the largest single shipment Of one COM
modify ever made over his road, to
whose rails it will be delivered by the
Delaware & Hudson Co.
A significant question when VIII HAL
uraly suggest itself to an ordinary
reader is:-"How is it possible to ship
so much of one commodity at one time''
The answer is found in the peerless
quality OF Worcester Salt which has
made it the fayorite in dairy sections
where a high grade salt is demanded,
and which has made possible the coIos-
sal business requiring mammoth trains
to handle the sales OF this brand Of salt.
1t may also be OF interest to the reader
to know that this is the seventh special
train shipment made by the Worcester
Salt Co., and it is the largest shipment
vet made, when the territory in which
The goods are to be distributed, is con
sidered.
The contents OF the big train hay,
been entirely sold to merchants i'll New
Hampshire, Vermont and Northwestern
Massachusetts
