A TRAIN THAT DOESN'T HESITATE. 



An olil ciilored man eiiiployed as por- 

 tor at a village station in Virginia, on 

 the main line of the Southern Railway,- 

 was industriously sweeping off the plat- 

 form when a waiting passenger accosted 

 him with, "Say, uncle, does the 'Wash- 

 ington and Southwestern Limited' stop 

 here?" "No. sah!" responded the old 

 darkey solemnly, and as he continued 

 sweeping he added: "No sah! the 

 'W'ash'n'ton an' Soufwesten Lim'fd' 

 don't stop yerc ; hit don't eben hes'- 

 tate." 



Unconsciously the old darkey ascribed 

 to this noted train a quality which has 

 contributed much to its success and 

 ]K)pularity as a medium of conveyance 

 between New York and New Orleans, 

 Chattanooga and Nashville and points 

 en route. A solid Pullman train, com- 

 posed of Drawing-room sleeping cars. 

 New York to New Orleans and New 

 York to Nashville, via Asbeville and 

 Chattanooga; Library and Observation 

 ears New Y'ork to Atlanta, Club ears 

 Washington to Atlanta, and Dining 

 car, this superb train ot the Southern 

 Railway leaves New York daily at 4:'25 

 p. m., over the tracks of the Pennsyl- 

 vania Railroad to Washington, and then 

 over the main line of the great Southern 

 Railway system it whirls its passengers 

 on with the speed of the wind to their 

 destinations. From start to finish it 

 doesn't "hesitate," as the old darkey 

 so quaintly expressed it, except at the 

 larger cities and important junctions. 

 Only five stops are made in crossing the 

 entire state of Virginia, four in North 

 Carolina and two in South Carolina. 

 Atlanta is reached inside of twenty- 

 four hours and New Orleans at 7 :25 the 

 second morning. 



This train connects at New Orleans 

 with the Southern Pacific's magnificent 

 "Siinset Limited" train running through 

 solid to San Francisco, which it makes 

 in seventy-three hours, and Los Angeles 

 in only 'fifty-eight hours. The latter 

 train also makes connections at both 

 San Antonio and El Paso, Texas, with 

 through trains for Mexico City and 

 points en route; and at both Mobile 



and New Orleans the "Washington and 

 Southwestern Limited" comiects with 

 steamship lines for Central and South 

 American ports. 



A schedule of the Southern Railway's 

 train service on itfi gigantic system 

 which gridirons almost the entire por- 

 tion of the South which lies east of the 

 Mississippi River, .shows that its man- 

 agement, too, does not "hesitate" in its 

 efforts to extend its service and to cater 

 in every possible way to the convenience 

 and comfort of the traveling public. 

 Two other trains, the "United States 

 Fast ]\Lail" and the"AtlantaExpress,"over 

 the main line give connections through 

 to New Orleans, and the "Washington 

 and Chattanooga Limited," via Lynch- 

 burg, makes quick time to Knoxville, 

 Chattanooga. Memphis, Birmingham 

 and New Orleans. 



In the "New Y'ork and Florida Ex- 

 press" and the "Washington. Richmond 

 and Florida Limited" the Southern 

 Railway maintains a double daily ex- 

 press train service the year round be- 

 tween New Y'ork and Florida, running 

 through to Jacksonville with its own 

 locomotives, conductors and trainmen. 

 In addition it operat<?s between New 

 York and St. Augustine during the win- 

 ter tourist season the "Southern's Palm 

 Limited." a vestibuled Pullman train 

 which represents the very acme of mod- 

 ern lailroad magnificence, comfort and 

 luxury. Every day except Sunday after 

 January 17, 1903,' this train leaves New 

 York at 12:40 noon and in a trifle over 

 twenty-four hours rapidly and magic- 

 ally shifts the scenes through all the 

 changes from mid-x^anter to balmy 

 spring; from naked. storm-tossed 

 branches to soughing pines and the 

 subtle mysteriousness of whisperirfg 

 palms: from gray skies and hitins cold 

 to golden sunshine and outdoor life be- 

 neath a dome as azurine as Italy's 

 famed vault. All information regarding 

 the same can be obtained at the South- 

 ern Railway's New York offices, 118.5 

 and 271 Broadway.
