CHESAPEAKE & OHIO RY. 



'pHE F. F. V. LIMITED is one of the finest trains hauled over any railway track in America. It runs 

 solid between-Cincinnati and New York, the route from Washington being over the Pennsylvania 

 system. It has every modern convenience and appliance, and the dining-car service has no superior if 

 it has an equal. The road-bed is literally hewed out of the eternal rocks; it is ballasted with stone 

 from one end to the other ; the greater portion is laid with oiie-hundred-pound .steel rails, and although 

 curves are numerous in the mountain .section, the ride is as smooth as over a Western prairie. 



One of the most delightful rides in all the route is that through the New River valley. The 

 mountains are just low enough to be clad with verdure to the very top, and in the early spring every 

 variety of green known to the mixer of colors can be seen, while the tones in autumn takt- on all the 

 range from brown to scarlet. 



These facts should be borne in mind by the traveler between the East and the West.

The Jufflping-off Place 



of the United States in Nortluvestern Washington is a region of 

 unusual grandeur. 



A wild, craggy range of mountains, the OLYMPICS, looks (»ut 

 upon the waters of the Pacific Ocean and the strait of Juan de 

 Fuca. The high peaks of the range are crested with eternal snow 

 and ice. Deep in their hollows are lakes of great depth and crys- 

 tal purity. The flanks of the mountains are covered with the 

 finest timber in the United States. Giant pines, cedars and firs 

 rise loo, 200, and even 300 feet in the air. The streams race 

 through wild ravines and are full of mountain-trout. 



It is a paradise for the woodsman and angler. The lakes 

 have large and new varieties of trout in them that fight viciously 

 for life. It is a land little known and explored— perhaps less so 

 than any region of equal area in the United States.
