Pennsylvania Railroad Maintains
Schedule.
New York Tribune. August IL. 1905. !
During the month of July the Penn
sylvania Special arrived in Chicago cx-
actly on the minute of its schedule
every day. The eastbound Pennsyl-
vania Special arrived in New York on
schedule time twenty-three days. The
average detention on seven days was
less than ten minutes, due entirely to
conditions for which the train crew
could not be held responsible. The
greatest breach in the schedule was on
July IL, when the Special was held up
behind freight wreck. which blocked
all -four tracks ON the Middle Division.
entailing loss of two hours and twenty
two minutes in the regular arriving
time at New York.
Ii is difficult to find match for this
record. II demonstrates that the sched-
ule has sufficient elasticity To take up
any ordinary detentions which may
occur between tcrmini. and that even u
faster regular schedule may be made
should il be deemed wise. The fine con-
dition Of the roadbe,l. the efficient mo-
tive power, and skillful operation all
contribute to the ease with which the
Special accomplishes its work.
