spirit of the Michigan people to help
the Pere Marquette out Of Its present

steel coaches. Coming through Eden
at 40 miles an hour the front truck OF
the express car left the track. The
car pulled away from the engine and
tender and took the rest Of the train
with 1t. Two heavy Pullmans at the
rear were equipped with emergency
brakes. and these worked, with the re-
suit that the coaches stopped within
few car lengths, probably averting
serious injury to occupants. The day
