REMARKABLE TR UN SERVIC E.
Some scientific and railway journ-.

the remarkable record made by the
tram called the Oriental Limited, of
the Great Northern Railway. This
train left Chicago on time every day
during the year 1914, ami arrived at
King street station, Seattle, exactly
on time every day, except four. The
delays on these four days were not
due to any defect in train equipment
or operation, but were caused by ,
blasting in the mountain division
where the road bed was being chang
ed. It is stated that this record has
never been approximated by any
western railway.
