A REMARKABLE PERFORMANCE, The “Pennsylvania Special’ is not only scheduled to make the run between New York and Chicago in eighteen hours, but it actually performs the deed with a precision that is phenomenal. During the fifty-three days from March 21 to May 12, clusive, it arrived in both ago and New York exactly on the minute every day but three in each direction. On those dates it was late only two, four, five, ten, thirteen and thirty-nine minutes respectively. Such a record means that experienced and skilful enginemen drive the train, that despatchers and signalmen are ever alert, and that well trained maintenance-of-way men are keeping the nine hun- dred and eight miles of track in perfect condition. It means that the passenger between New York and Chicago on the “Pennsylvania Special” practically sure of reaching his destination on time. Regularity of schedule is a most important consideration. It en- ables business men to keep their engagements in either city, and to get the benefit of an eighteen-hour schedule. If you want to get to Chicago in eighteen hours take the “Pennsylvania Special,” which leaves New York at 3.55 P. M. and arrives Chicago 8.55 A. M.
