IMMENSELY LONG TRAIN
PASSED THROUGH OCALA

A train with two engines and one
hundred and thirty refrigerators and
ventilators passed through Oeala on
Saturday night over the Seaboard Air
Line. We understand these cars were
going to the Manatee and Sarasota
sections for vegetables, which goes to
show what Florida is doing toward
sending her share of vegetables to the
northern markets. The estimated
lenght of the train was one mile, sew
en- hundred and twenty feet. The
flagman in leaving Anthony had to
walk the cars to the engine and when
he reached Ocala he was eighteen
cars away from it. 1t is thought to
be the longest train ever pulled over
any road in Florida.
The conductor saw his flagman be-
fore pulling out of Jacksonville, or
when the train was made up, and the
next place he saw him was in Ocala-
