More Trains and Fjster Time on the
Burlington
Chicago May lfi Perhaps the nm i
radical chanties jn the way of im
provement ever made in tho train r
vice of any railroad at one time an
tho which take plaro un thu Btirliit
ton Route May 25 when that company
will put on four new truins and will im
prove the service and quickeu the time
of several trains
Perhaps the most important of the
new train nre tho two which will run
through solid from Chicago to Seattle
via St Paul They will both be com
pletely electric lighted and the Oriental
Limited will run over the Great ionh
prn west of St Puiil leaving Chicago
in me evening and ninlfing the tnji in
72 hour it will carry observation
j brary club car standard and tourist
sleeper couches dining cars etc I n
other through train via St Piul will run
over the Northern Pacific roid leivintr

pre and will carry similar c quiimnt
It is worthy of note that this is the
first time that trains have been run
regularly over any railroad all tho way
thtpugh solid from Chicago to the
Luget Sound region
In addition a third train to Seattle
will be installed which will start l
St Louis I Kansas City Omaha and
Denver and run through solid to Seat
tU over the Burlington Route to Bill
ings Mont thence over thQ newly
completed line of the Great Northern
through Grent Falls and Spokane one
of tho most interesting aud picturesque
routes through the Northwest
It additiou to thebe three new trains
to Siattle the present through rin
running from t Louis Kansas City
Omihaand Denver via Billings and tbe
Northern Pacific will be made a solid
olecric lighted train
With these changes the people of all
tho important cities of the middle west
will have through trains to PugetSound
twice a day a very important public
convenience in view of the Alaska Yu
kon Pacific Exposition to be held this
year in the city of Seattle
Another new train is the Colorado
Lmitud which will be installed be
tween Chicago and Denver leaving
Chicago 945 in the morning and ar
riving at Dnver at 415 the following
if ernoon This is aioj a completely
electric lighted limited train with the
ucual modern equipment observation

The timo of the Burlingtons crack
train the Famous Denver Limited No
1 will be changed so that after May
23 it will leave
Chicago at 430 p m
arrive at Denver 9 p m the following
night This train has tbe unusual
record of having arrived ou time in
Denver during the calendar ear 1S0S
355 times only late ten times during
the year
Another important feature is tbe
fact that St Louis Colorado Limited
leaving St Louis at 215 p m will be
a solid electric lighted train with obser
vation car etc and will arrive at Den
ver at 415 p m instead of 620 as here
tofore
