Filipinos Fed and Resume Journey Westward
A Filipino special train carrying 62 adults and four children stopped in San Antonio on its westward run to the Pacific coast. They were served 10 gallons of beet and vegetable stew as breakfast, while guards kept the two-coach train aboard and passengers from alighting at stops. Passengers, eager to enjoy fresh air, watched the scenery as they resumed the journey under supervision of W A Sutherland and A R Atkinson of the Southern Pacific.
