Show Mli TALKS OF NEWSERVICE First Western Pacific Train Leaves Here at 1 1 :30 p. m., August 22. THROUGH CARS FROM DENVER & RIO GRANDE One Train Daily Each Way as y Temporary Arrangement Is Decided. I "Wo will start our first tniin out of Salt Lako ever the Western Pacific at 11:30 p. m. on August 22." remarked Pa6-sengor Pa6-sengor Traffic Manager E. L. Lomax Tuesday evening. "The train will reach .San Francisco at noon on the 24th. On tho 22nd tho first train will leave San Francisco at 0 p. ra. and arrive In the new terminal hero at 8 a. mfl on the 24ih. The consist will bo a otandard and a tourist from and to Denvor on tho Rio Grande, which will corne In on No. 3 and go out on No. C of that road. ' "In addition, the train will carry a Btandard from Salt Lake to San 1-ran-olsco and return, one diner, two chair cars, one dav couch and one baggage, a total of eight cars. A feature of this servlco Is that It gives all passengers arriving ar-riving on the morning and afternoon trains a stop-over In Salt Lake nnd also gives to the people of Salt Lake their own standard sleeper from this city to San Francisco, with all the space reserved re-served for Salt Lake and no delays arising aris-ing from dclnyed space telegrams. The reason the time is slow at first Is to allow the perfecting of details. This Is but a temporary card, and later. In thirty to sixty davs, I feel confident that mat-ers mat-ers will he so adjusted that a much Vhorter schedulo can be put Into effect. "However, the first train to come In will be a special, composed of officials and tome newspaper men. which will arrive here Friday. August 19. and return leaving leav-ing here Saturday. August 20. 1 he first night the train will tie up at Wlnno-mucca Wlnno-mucca and tho second night at Orovlllo to allow the passengers to sec the road by daylight. Utah newspaper men will bo on this train also. "We have a lino slnglo track line, with handsome stations, chief of which is the beautiful terminal hero and the one at Oakland, with modern and convenient mi nil nlrmif the line. i"Vlth the scenic attractions tho line Js going to bo a popular route for tourists, for wo have the Great Salt lake and the oily, the salt beds, the wonderful can-von can-von and rock scenery along the Feather fiver nnd tho most perfect hill, vale and meadow views from Orovillc to tho bay. "All the equipment will be of steel and the latest design, and in a very short ., . time the road will be in a position to $ cater to the very highest class of travel. Kfc When wo reduce the time it will bo an ousy task to make the schedule, for we v -jtiavc the lowest grade of any Pacific I. line and the stretch from OrovTllc to the bay Is practically level, allowing almost any tlmo to bu made. "As to tho other trains, that will come later, for, as stated, this Is but tho starter, a temporary arrangement, and Just as soon as all details are satisfactorily satisfac-torily adjusted wo will work out the new fall and winter schedule." |
