MAKES FIRST TRIP
Santa Fe De Luxe Train Apparently a
Success.

The initial trip of the new de luxe
train or the Santa Fe through kan
sas today was successful and the Off
GERS of the system who assisted in
planning its schedule are more than
pleased. The train arrived in Kansas
City on schedule time, but was delayed
few minutes after leaving the Union
station because of the dense fog.
The train left the Union station
promptly at 9 o'clock, but the fog
through the yards and more especially
over the tracks of the belt line sys-
tenn was more dense than at any time
in memory of the officers This caused
few minutes @elay because it was
necessary to use great caution in pass
ing through the yards, but the train
arrived on schedule time at Holiday
station, where it branched off and
passed over the cutoff through Ottawa.
J. NJ Council, general passenger
agent left Topeka Tuesday afternoon
and met the train at Marceline, Mo-
He boarded the train and will accom-
pany it through the state and probably
as far as Ration, N. M. He will assist
the members of the train crew and
other employees on the train in max
ing the passengers as comfortable as
possible and give them every attention.
The train was we'll patronized and
practically all of the cars were well
filled.
The train arrived at Emporia and
Newton on schedule time and is report
ed to have been on time at all points
west of there.
All other trains were sidetracked in
plenty of time to allow this new train
to proceed without interruption. Large
crowds were at the several stations to
see it go through and it is reported
that this train caused as much curios-
ity as the demonstration train which
