Pennsylvania Train of Heavy Cars Made Fast Run Friday.

Valparaiso Messenger. A fast run Friday morning has created some comment among the Pennsylvania trainmen. On that occasion Engineer R. Craige, and Fireman J. J. Butler, with engine No. 7166, took Pennsylvania train No. 15 from Fort Wayne to River Branch Junction, South Chicago, 135 miles in 132 minutes. The train consisted of nine steel cars and this was the first time that a train of that weight covered that distance over the Pennsylvania lines.
