First Locomotive to Make Mile a Minute The thrill of traveling a mile a minute by rull was first experienced In 1848, when the Antelope; a 10-ton engine built under the direction of Superintendent Minot of the Boston & Maine railroad, covered the 20 miles between Boston and Lawrence In just 26 minutes. The engine had single drivers, six feet In diameter.. Every detail was carefully arranged to give the new engine a chnnce to break all previous records. Minot selected an engineer named Pemberton to drive the locomotive. Pemberton was reluctant at first, but when Minot threatened to take the throttle himself, he agreed to try. Minot rode with him, Men were sent over the road to spike down all switches and see that everything was In perfect order. It was before telegraphy had been introduced and to run a mile a minute required careful preparation. A large crowd gathered at the station and amid cheers and waving of hats, the Antelope began Its historic run. Half way to Lawrence, Minot looked at his watch. Fourteen mlnutes had elapsed. He urged Pemberton to get more speed and Pemberton pulled the throttle wide open. The ehglne responded and when the train was brought to a stop at the station, Minot's watch showed Just 28 minutes had elapsed since the start. —Railway Life, TRree Fish Stories "After three hours and a half we landed him, and he tipped the scale at Just 276 pounds.” “Anyone fishing off this property will be severely prosecuted." "I tell yon It was the finest filet of sole I ever tasted, and for the three of u It came to only 90 cents."
