been demonstrated, and during the
the past week they have been coach
ed by Harry Harbert. one Of the star
players Of the Athletic Club team.
Under his tuition they have develop

columbus Dispatch]
The most unique steam railroad
train in existance pulled into the
Union Station, Saturday night
about 8 o'clock, over the Pennsyl-
vania road. To all outward ap.
pearance it was a hunchbacked
passenger coach, putting smoke
out of a funnel in tn, front end
and grinding its big and little
wheels just as though to say,
'L' ok at me! Am l not the fun
niest railroad train you ever saw"
The funny looking object is the
only unit train operating in the
United States. 1t is an engine and
coach combined. Passengers with
in the coach cannot see the engine
and spectators without can see on
ly the stack and the wheels, indi-
eating that the engine in within
the coach. The whole train is 65
feet long. The patentee is Theo.
dore Curtis, superintendent of the
machine shop of the Louisville &
Nashville railroad. l has been
operating on exhibition, of late,
over the Grand Rapids d Indiana
railroad.
M. S. Connors, general superin-
tendent of the Hooking Valley
railroad, had peek at it a few
days ago, and was instrumental in
bringing the unit railroad train to
Columbus. On Monday he will
have it operated ON the Hooking
Valley road north and continue it
probably Tuesday and Wednesday.
On Thursday the train will op-
crate south. 1t will be given a
trial.
"We are figuring on several of
them," said Superintendent Con-
nors, Saturday night. SIN my
opinion, the unit train will soon
become a dominant feature of
railroads throughout the country,
for filling in short runs
and for branch purposes. 1t is
capable of hauling one or two ad-
ditional coaches, IL necessary. We
will undoubtedly operate several
of these trains south of Columbus"
