WASHINGTON, BLOWS A SALUTE | T0 GHOST VILLAGES World’s Most Democratic Train Greets Towns for 0Old Times’ Sake. By the Associated Press. POPLARVILLE, Miss, May 6.—The | midnight limited of the Queen and!| Crescent crawled across the long trestle | of Lake Pontchartrain last nltm.‘ plerced the swamp mist with her glar- “ing light and roared away on the ghost run of Mississippl. Ol’ 42 it's called down here—the most democratic train in all the world. Night after night, always on time, it races through the deserted villages of the timber country and never forgets | to blow a salute to the dead towns of the pine empire, although there is none | o hear the greeting. That's why it's called the ghost run. Years ago, when sawmills wheezed a symphony from New Orleans to Laurel, the towns were bustling little places with bright yellow depots and white- washed oaks down the main streets. But the mills went away and the trains hurried by, forgetting the days when crowds gathered at the stations to talk with the passengers and give frult to the crew. All the trains but OI' 42 high-hat the ghost towns now. But the midnight limited, her club cars gay with travelers going East. always takes time to blow just for old times sake. Sentimental Remembrance. After it leaves the lake and shuffies through the black swamps of Pearl River, the Limited straightens out, blinks her tail light in a farewell to| Louisiana and heads north, Alabama bound. ‘Two long blasts—a greeting to Wilco —and the first deserted viliage flashes by. Its mill stands like a frozen senti- | nel in the moonlight. Some passengers | wonder why the place is noticed. Well, | the Limited and the villagers were friends when the towns had folks living | there and the attention is just a bit | of remembrance from a eentimental railroadin’ man. | ‘Two more rumbling blasts and Nortac is passed. Water lilies choke the mill pond at Orvisburg—the big red store building is held together only by the grace of gravity and the weary echoes | of 42's greeting float through the emply sheds of the crumbling mill. | Just a few miles more, and Hillsdale is passed, even while the train is blow- ing a requiem for a forgotten village. | There, 42 fills her chest with steam and | pants like & winded horse up the grade to Red Top. There is nothing at Red ‘Top now, except a pile of sawdust, but the train blows and then hies away down the ridge to get a running start for Richburg S’ Scene of Famous Bout. Richburgh is where John L. Sullivan and Jake Kilrain fought 72 rounds in | defiance of the laws of Mississippi. There is nothing there anymore except | a few weather-beaten buildings &nd | giant pines that trocp down the hill to a creek. The engineer of 42 leans on his whistle as his locomotive pokes | her nose over the ridge and strains| | to pull her cars cver the hump. The scream of the blasts can be heard for | | miles. Farmers awaken with a start— | “Thar she goes over the hill"—they | say. Richburgh is the last of the ghost | run. The limited swings a huge bend. dips her nose for the down grade and thunders away—her brakes cocked, her whistle shrieking | The lights of Hattiesburg loom ahead suddenly and 42 quivers as she pulls up for a crossing and then slips into the station It's exactly midnight when the steam pours from her stilled pistons in that heavy sigh that good locomitives give when they rest after a lcng race.
