Evening Republican, Volume 15, Number 82, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 6 April 1911 — Train a Mile Long. [ARTICLE]

Train a Mile Long.

A freight train more than a mile in length left Fresno, the other night and arrived safely in Bakersfield. The train was composed of 125 refrigerator cars that had accumulated in the local yards. As there was a big demand for them farther south the operating department of the road decided to make them up into one train and haul them with one engine. The feat was successful. The engine, 125 cars and the caboose made a train 5,465 feetln length.
