Strawberry Train is Again Running Over Monon Road.

The “strawberry special” made its first trip between Louisville and Chicago today, Tuesday, over the Monon railrdad, going north through Rensselaer at about 4 o’clock in the morning and south at about 11:30. The train carries fruit to the Chicago markets and is given a favorable schedule for a fast run, makiiig only such stops as are necessary for water, coal and to pass other trains. It ordinarily will pass through this city northbound at about 3 o’clock in the morning, in order to carry its fresh fruit cargo to the early markets. This train has been run by the Monon each spring for several years.
