RYAN At p. in. yesterday af- tenioon, a large crowd gathered at the New York Central station in Marshall, with eyes turned expectantly to the west. Shortly, a distant whistle was heard, grew louder and then around the curve swept the magnificent luxury passenger train.

"Mercury," making its maiden eastbound trip from Chicago to Detroit. It parsed the Marshall station like a white streak, barely giving the eager spectators an opportunity to view streamlined design, its rounded glass-enclosed observation car. and its other up-to-the-uiinute innovations. Named alter the Greek god of ccmmerce and messenger of the mythological godi. the "Mercury" represents the very latest in modern passenger trains.

All along the line ut the New York Central, from Chicago to Detroit, at city statiotis. cattle crossings, village and iiamlet. and hi tile open fields. enthusiastic crowds had gathered to witness this history-making trip of the Mercury from Chicago to Detroit in 4 hours and 45 minutes.

The engine was 27 feet, 6 inches long, 10 feet, 2 inches high, weighed 34,000 pounds, with four driving wheels 33 inches in diameter, fuel capacity of half a cord of wood, and 500 gallons of water in the saddle tank. Saddle tanks were engines that liad the water tank connected above the boiler. The Antelope had tractive power of 3090 and its firebox dimensions were inches in height, inches in length and 30 inches ill width.

The first trip from Albion to Marshall was made in 40 minutes, which was fist in those days, when the ox wagon took two hours. The track upon which the Antelope traveled was a continuous wooden rail or stringer of sawed timber. The rail was fitted into the sawed ties and held to the tie In a groove by wooden wedges. On top of the continuous stringer was spiked the Iron strap rail. The four passenger oars attached to the Antelope resembled small flat cars, with siding all three feet high from the of the car.
