Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 22, Number 3, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 28 September 1900 — What a Mogul Can Do. [ARTICLE]

What a Mogul Can Do.

That was a remarkable demonstration of what a Mogul can do, that occurred on the New York Central the other day, when engine No. 948, one of the new Moguls, hauled out train No. 11, the Southwestern Limited, made up of two mail cars, five passenger coaches and nine Wagner cars, sixteen cars in all. The total weight of the train was 1.832,000 pounds, or 916 tons, and the length of the. train, including the engine, was 1,212 feet, or nearly a quarter of a mile. This engine made the running time of the train between New Yoyk and Albany, 143 miles, in three hours and fifteen minutes. There is no railroad in the world which has a better roadbed, more skillful engineers, or better equipment, backed by loyal men always alert for the safety of their passengers, than the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad. What road can match its corps of men, from President Callaway down the long line of employes, to the humble and faithful trackmen who watch their sections of rails through the long hours of the night and day. in order to safeguard the lives of the travelers on trains whirling by their humble shanties, many of which nestle closely to the rails under their guardianship.—Editorial from the Albany Times-Union.
