MONON RAILWAY RUNS ITS SMALLEST TRAIN

New Albany, Ind., May X 6—Carrying signals and running under orders received from the train dispatcher’s office at Bloomington, probably the smallest freight train ever run over the Monon railroad made a trip shortly after the raiload yardmen struck, fom Broom Hill to this city and return. The train was composed of a section crew’s push ear, coupled to a gasoline motor-propelled handcar, and was manned by a regular conductor and engineer. With orders to take certain sidings for meeting points, the little train made the run of twenty miles to New Albany, leaded a ton of coal in sacks on the push car and returned it to Broom Hill, where the fuel supply of several telegraph linemen had become exhausted.
