Show RUSH THROUGH MANY EXTRA U. P. TRAINS ! WESTWARD TRAFFIC j IS OVERFLOWING i This seems to be the peak of the year for the Union Pacific traffic de-pal de-pal tment. Extra trains and specials are the order of the day on the Los Angeles and Salt Lake unit. j Six extra passenger trains came J through Milford Tuesday. Number 27 was run in four sections. The reason for this rush was primarily the great convention of Sunday School workers, work-ers, being held in Los Angeles. The same train was split in two sections Wednesday, but this was for handling hand-ling the normal summer overflow of regular traffic. All fast trains are run in sections now, beginning some few weeks ago. These sections run on the block, about ten minutes apart. The Knights Templar special from Los Angeles direct to Detroit comes through today with two hundred passengers. pas-sengers. Within the next few days are" about twelve or fourteen specially special-ly conducted tours to be run through Milford over the Union Pacific. These tours call for accomodations for from fifteen to twenty-five passengers each, and necessitates extra cars, or where traffic is already rushed as is now, sometimes require the making up of an entire extra section. One interesting interest-ing tour came through Milford last week in the form of a Post-Convention tour, composed of a large number of persons from the national Democratic Demo-cratic convention at Houston. Practically all of the heavy and extra trains are west-bound, but Agent J. H. Davis opines that later in the season will see crowded east-bound east-bound trains, composed of tourists who earlier made the west-bound swing of vacation trips on roads other than the Union Pacific, but rieht j now it seems the U, P. is getting the call on carrying passengers hurrying westward. j |
