BEAT THE SCHEDULE
Delivered Rock Island at
Pueblo Saturday, and Sec
0nd Train Leaves.

The first through green fruit train OF
the Western Pacific was not due into
this city until very late Friday night, but
II beat it's announced schedule. II was
given out that the train would be run
from Sacramento to Salt Lake In forty
six hours. but the actual time was thirty
five hours and fcrtyfive minutes. II
stopped here twenty minutes for icing
and then was handed over TO the Rio
Grande, which took II into Helper. the
end OF the Salt Lake division. ten min
utes ahead Of the schedule.
At o'clock Saturday afternoon the
train was nearing Pueblo. where It was
to be turned over TO the Rock Island
for direct movement TO Chicago. Tele-
grams had been sent west OF the rema rk-
able time Of the twenty refrigerator cars,
and the second train was started out of
SACRAMENTO Saturday.
This time Will have possible effect on
the citrus fruit movement from Cali
fornia which commences next January.
and Will develop some interesting scram-
bles for freight traffic.
This is also important In the fact tina
II is the largest train and one Of the
first TO go through this city, the South
ern Pacific having previously transferred
Its through trains TO the Union Pacific.
and they went through Ogden, 1t is
merely an illustration OF Salt Lakes new
position on the transcontinental map.
