I TINE ANNIHILATED BY R. R. ‘FLIERY Train Still Fastest Means o Group Transportation ‘When the airplane became the means of fast transportation and speedy travel, opinions were voiced eve that in time the train would have give way to these most up-to-date means of transit and that the loco- motive and the passenger cars would sooner or later go into the discar There is no question that of the slow trains have been and will be discontinucd and supplanted by the automobile, but the fust, long run trains will continue to carry passengers until time When other means of transportation is de- vised that will y cqualiy as many people and at as fast a rate up-to-date passenger trains. Considering the number ple, the weight of cach the length of each train locomotive has to pull, not be any doubt that tt all is the fastest means of vevance in the world. Statistics show that the m propelled train is capable of traveling at as 1 rate of speed as an automobile in many instances faster, wh speed of some of the penan trains equal the many heavy passenger plancs. Record Runs Although the present d trains are generally of a fast caliber, they cannot by far cqual some of the ree- ords made by trains in bygone As far back as May, a train of the ‘Great Western railroad in ¥ land averaged a speed of 68 miles an hour on a 54-mile run; in April, 1895, a train of the Pennsylhvania lines covered the distance hetween Philadelphia and Atlantic City, &% miles, in minutes, or at the rate of 7613 miles an hour; the Great Westorn made another record run in July, 1004, when a train traveling from Paddington to Bristol (I land), a distance of 1185 miles, made the run in 1 hour and 24 min- utes or at the rate of $1.6 miles per hour, In long distance runs, a train of ‘the Lake Shore and Michizun Southern railroad covercd 1l tance between Buffalo . 525 miles, in seven minutes, avcraging ap; 79 miles an hour.

One of th fastest runs on record is that made in Aug- ust, 1898, between Elizabeth, N, J and Jenkintown, 69 miles, which wa made in €61 minutes with two slow- ups, some of the miles heing made in 38 seconds.
