GREATNESS suspense. 1t seems to
this generation that it was to per-
ceive the last word in railway
speed. Fear was felt that the ele-
ment of risk would enter too large
ly into the new schedules to make
travel on such fast trains attractive
to the public.
However, such demand for
time saving had been met that the
public instantly patronized these
trains lavishly, paying cheerfully an
excess fare to arrive at their des-
tinations a couple of hours earlier.
Two years before there had been
a furore over the installation Of 20
hour trains between the metropolis
of the west and the metropolis of
the east. This was now forgotten.
In its route between the two
cities the Pennsylvania railroad
covers 912 miles. The New York
Central and Lake Shore route is
$50 miles. The rival trains made
