in railroad travelling" said man who
arrived in Kansas City from the West
to the Kansas City Journal. but the
way I got to Kansas City today was
new one Perhaps it is not so I'M
usual as it seemed to me. but I have
never struck such an arrangement be-
fore.
II came from the west on the Rock
Island. When that road reaches To-
pelSa. it takes the Union Pacific tracks
from there to Kansas City. Today how
ever, the Union Pacific was suffering
from q washout. and its line was out
of service. So the Rock Island had to
plan another way of getting into Kan
sas City. and it came over the Santa
F'e. This in itself would not be I'M
usual. but as it changes engines in To-
peka, dropping it's own for one of the
Union Pacific, expecting to use that
roads line. as is the custom, we were
actually hauled to Kansas City on a
Rock Island train by a Union Pacific
engine over the Santa Fe tracks, and
we carried engineers of all the three
roads on the engine, at that"
