Reading Railroad engine shatters mile record on straight track
The Philadelphia and Reading Railroad reports a new mile record of 37 seconds set on a straight section between Westfield and Cranford. The Baldwin representative timed speeds as the train, heavily laden, sped past Neshaminy and then blasted through to reset the mile record despite strong headwinds and other adversities. Engineer Hicks steered the locomotives through rapid runs, with several trials exceeding previous marks before the final 37 second achievement. The event coincides with an organ recital at the First Church in Westfield that evening.
