Sunset Route Train Ser=
 yiCe--Winter 1OO0=7
san Francisco, Oct. 24, 1906.


 Yesterday the Southern Pacific an- nounced through ,Alr. Chas. s. Fee, Passenger Traffic Manager, that the train service on the Sunset Route be- tween San Francisco and New Orleans would be doubled, beginning with Dec l6th. Not only is the service to be doubled, but it is to be improved with new equipment and the time shortened very much.
 The first of the two trains, Sunset Express at 2:30 p. m. and arrive at Los Angeles at l0:30 a. m. It will lay over at Los Angeles to give passengers an opportunity to spend few hours in that city, and leaving Los Angeles at 9:40 D. m, will reach Fl Paso at 1l:55 D. m. the next day and New Orleans 6:45 p. m., the run being made from Los Angeles to New Orleans in two days and nineteen hours. The train will have the highest class of equip ment. including outdoor observation rotunda. observation parlor, library, travelling club room, drawing room, sleepers and diner. At New Orleans connection will be made with the fast and fine new passenger steamers of the Southern Pacific steamers just launched for New York, and also with the winter limited trains of the southern lines n0rthward to Chicago and Cincinnati, and eastward to Washington, Philadel- phia. The number of business days spent on a trip to a majority of the eastern cities will be approximately the same as that taken by the other limited trains.
 The second train, No. 8, will leave San Francisco at , p. m. and arrive in Los Angeles the next morning at 9:O5. The section over the cOast line will leave San Francisco about 3:l5 D. m, !; this train will be similar in equipment % the others, but slightly slower in time: will arrive at Fl Paso at p. m, the next day and at New Orleans S:35 a. III. It will give travellers time to spend few hours at New Orleans and leave on the evening limited trains for the east.
 My. Fee, in speaking of the service yesterday, said that the events of the summer had in no way affected the be- lief of the Southern Pacific Company that the volume of winter travel to California was to be heavier than ever before, and that :his faith was being expressed in increased train service.
 The excursion and regular traffic of the Southern Pacific during the past summer has been beyond expectation and in nearly every direction beaten the records of previous years. At the present time the volume of business is so heavy that new trains are being added in many directions, including To- cal trains in the Sacramento and Napa valleys, additional trains on the Coast division between San Francisco and Sant Cruz, and additional train be- tween San Francisco and Reno, and others under consideration.
 The new service of the Sunset Route is to be extensively advertised and at the same time Califortia's unexctlled opportunities for pleasure and home ceelzerS
