Evening Republican, Volume 22, Number 168, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 18 July 1919 — APOLOGY WAS NOT A DE LUX TRAIN. [ARTICLE]

APOLOGY WAS NOT A DE LUX TRAIN.

The loss of the “train de lux” on the Apology is going to be a serious setback to the company. ' A good bunch of cash is represented in a sixteen wheel, 120 ton, compound passenger locomotive, a solid steel train, equipped with electric lights, sleeper, dining car, parlor cars and all modern conveniences—but that [wasn’t on the Apology. Instead —it 'was a decrepit old engine whose last repair worhjfindicates the early nineties, more decrept day coach, number 13 on the list, which might fail to pieces any old time, a smoker not fit to haul niggers and a combination mail and baggage coach of the same class. But the company can go into the iboneyard and pick out some more equally as good, and fit out another train for the run. Oh, yes, it was some train de lux, all right.—Remington Press,
