FASTEST IN THE WORLD.
Splendid Run of the Reading's Flyer to
Atlantic City.
AVERAOKD 70 MILES AN HOUR.
The fastest regular train in the
world was put into service on the
Reading's Atlantic City line, July a,
and for the opening day the company
scored a rare triumph in a phenome
nal run, making the entire distance
from Camden to the shore in 48 min
utes, or at an average speed of 70
miles an hour. The run was made in
4 minutes less than the regular sched
ule, but so evenly and smoothly did
the train glide over the solid road-bed
that nobody on board, except profess
ional railroad men, knew what a record
breaking run was being made.
The new train is scheduled to carry
passengers from this city to the shore
in 60 minutes. Of that time eight
minutes are allowed for the ferry to
Camden and transfer to the cars there,
leaving 5a minutes for the run of 55I
miles to Atlantic The boats leave
Chestnut and South streets, in this
city, at 3:40 p. m., and the train is
scheduled to leave Camden at 3:48,
arriving at Atlantic City at 4:40.
THE RECORD-BREAKING RUN BEGAN.
A slight delay at the ferry made the
train a1 minutes late in leaving Cam
den, and it was just 3:50 when en
gineer Charles Fahl pulled the throttle
valve of the big Baldwin compound
engine No. 1037, and began the record-breaking
run. There were five
cars in the train, a Pullman, a combi
nation and three ordinary passenger
cars. All five cars were filled with
passengers.
The run through the outskirts of
Camden, over the West Jersey tracks,
and through near-by villages, was nec
essarily made at a slightly reduced
rate of speed ; but by the time Strat
ford, 10 miles out, was reached, the
tram was literally flying. There was
no perceptible let up until the mead
ows on the other stde of Pleasantville
were reached, and a few minutes later
the train glided into Atlantic City
depot at 4:38, one and one-half min
utes ahead of the schedule time, and
48 minutes atter leaving Camden,
having made the run at an average
speed ot 70 miles an hour.
NEARLY 90 MILES AN HOUR.
While the 4 minutes were made up
all along the route there were sections
when a speed of nearly 90 miles an
hour was reached. According to the
regular schedule the seven miles from
Brigantine Junction to Pleasantville
are made in 5 minutes, or at a speed
of 84 miles an hour. The a 6 miles
from Winslow Junction to Pleasant
ville are scheduled for ai minutes, or
74.38 miles an hour, and in this run it
is safe to say that the speed was near
ly, if not (mite, at the rate of 80 miles
an hour for that distance, as it covers
the section of the road best adapted
for fast running. Phila. A'eeord, July
3. 1897.
