ln 1894. or forty years later, came the first electric railroad, witb its tiny cars operated at a 'breath-taking" speed of ten miles an bour. In Mardi, 1934, after another lapse *of f orty years, a. Winnetka:,man had the. privilege, of. participating in -the initial runof. the. Union, Pacific's new *stream-Iine, -high speed aluminum train. Tbe train demnonstrated its 'ablity. at 110 miles per boum to compete ,with aimplane, motor bus, or any' other known invention for travel. Designated aS"Tomorrow's train today," it was buit by 'the Pullman conipanv of Chicago. Throughout. the tbousands of miles of the Union Pacific system, tlîte new "Bullet train" was greeted hy. thréngs of people who gatbemed to marvel at, the accomplishments of its* inventors. Crowd Are Enth6usiastie At each city and banilet, according to Webb C. Bail, of 936 HlilI road, Winnetka, the crowds were as enthusi-j astic as tiiose which, in 199i4, inarveled at the ten-mile-per-hour speed of the first North Shore electric train.1 Mr. Bail,.,of the Bail Railroad .Tiime Service, boarded the ne%,. train at. Las Vegas, Nevada. He %vas a pas- senger on its maiden trip along the, coast through Califomnia, Washington and Oregon, and -back east as far as Pocatello, Idaho, where, after a six-t thousand mile journey lie Ieft the train,1 on April 5. He was aboard the newt ~'IdBullet Train" for the ourpose of con-, ally different type, of passenger equip- ment. Speed with' safet y and a mni- mum cost of operation. were the ains in constructing the present train.
