Ever Hear of "Scotty" and His Record.
Breaking Ride?

The story, briefly told, is this: Wal
ter Scott, the Death Valley gold miner,
made the trip from Los Angeles to
Chicago last summer on a special
train over the Santa Fe'' in less than
As hours. That whirlwind train cost
him more than $4,000. 1t was the
fastest long distance run over noun
tains and plains ever made on any
American railway. 1t demonstrated
beyond dispute that the Santa Fe
track, equipment and employees are Of
the dependable kind. Probably you
wouldn't care to ride so fast. You pre-
fer the luxury of our three trains from
Utah and Colorado to Everywhere
East and Southwest.
