The Rock Islands new fast mail
train made its first run last night, and
the entire run was made on schedule
time, the train leaving Chicago at $40
and arriving at Omaha at 1920 this
morning. about an hour ahead of the
mail trains of the Rock Islands com
petitors for the mail contracts, the
Burlington and the Northwestern. The
new train makes the run from Chi
cago to Rock Island in hours and 80
minutes, not as fast time as is made
by the Golden State limited. Between
Blue Island and Rock Island, however,
the new train lowers the time of the
Golden State by minutes. The mail
train is allowed 10 minutes longer on
the terminal division in order to make
the mail transfers from the east, at
Englewood.
PASSES Here at Midnight.
The fast mail reached Rock Island
at 1905, midnight, and left at 1910,
the engines and crews being changed
here. The train makes no stop from
Davenport to Des Moines on the Iowa
division except for water. In addition
to the mail cars, an express car and a
coach were carried on last evenings
