Show THIS HOLDS THE RECORD. Southern Men Tell of Some Wonderful Wonder-ful Railroad Traveling. A group of railroad men wero talking talk-ing about tho fastest rides they over experienced, says tho Now Orleans Times-Democrat. Ono mnn In relating relat-ing his experiences, said: "Across bayous nnd through marshes we rushed rush-ed Ilko mad. When wo reached tho Ulgolcts tho most remarkable think I ever saw took place. Tho train was traveling so fast It sucked tho water up behind It as It rushed across tho trestle, nnd I couH hear tho fishes groan ns wo How over this neck of tho gulf. Most rcinnrknhlo thing I over saw In tho wny of fast runs." And ho lapsed Into silence. "I am glad you reminded mo of that run," snld another member of tho group. "I had forgotten tho incident. I can vouch for nil you say, for I was on the hack end of the last coach, and tho water which was sucked In behind be-hind tho train by the vacuum almost washed mo overboard, but I held on nil right, nnd when wo mndo the crossing cross-ing nnd tho waters had receded, I picked up on tho platform of tho rear coach tho finest bunch of llsh I over saw. They wero no doubt tho fish ou heard groaning." |
