Hauled by engine 61 mak- ing it's initial run, the train was travel ing up to the limit when the burning trestle was discovered and the train brought to a standstill. After con sultation with the crew and passen- gers, the train was backed up for a fresh start. Several piers of the tres tie were burning and three or four had been entirely consumed, and the new engine weighs ten tons more than the "50's" which usually haul this train into Memphis, but in spite of this the gauge was pushed to the limit, the throttle was opened and the train dashed across the bridge at a 70-mile gait. The passage was made in safe ty and the train rolled into Memphis only few minutes behind time. In addition to crossing the treStle in safe ty, No. 61 achieved further fame by drawing the train all the way through from TeXarkana, the engine which was to have relieved it at Pine Bluff having left the turntable and being put out of commission.
