Hastenings

Chicago-New York. For years two famed trains alone have run between Chicago and New York on a 20-hour schedule, the Broadway Limited of the Pennsylvania Railroad, the 20th Century of the New York Central. Begininng on Sept. 29, the two railroads announced last week, the Pennsylvania will run two more 20-hour trains each way every day, the New York Central will run three more westbound, four more eastbound. All will have the same equipment and extra fare as the old 20-hour trains. Detroit-Pontiac. The Grand Trunk Railway last week announced plans to electrify its lines between Detroit and Pontiac. A four-track, 40-minute suburban system will be provided--and over the hurrying interurban trains will be a four-lane motor speedway to permit hurrying autoists to cross some 25 miles of country in almost no time at all.
