II WESTERN RAILROADS
ANNOUNCE TRAIN-AUTO
SERVICE OVER BIG AREA
An entirely new travel service,
consolidating the high speed of
the fnodern railroad train with
the mobility of the private auto-
mobile, will be inaugurated May
1st by eleven leading Western
railroads.
Conrifplete arrangements for this
train-auto service,, which will
place 2000 current model 6-pas-
senger sedans at the disposal of
r/ulroad passengers in more than
160 key cities throughout the
West, ■ have been made between
Railway Extension, Inc., and the
following rail lines:
Burlington ‘Lines, Chicago and
Eastern" Illinois, Chicago, Milwau-
kee, St. Paul & Pacific, Chicago
and North Western, Chicago, St.
Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha,
Great Northern, Illinois Centrkl,
Northern Pacific, Rock Island
Lines, Santa Fe System Lines,
Union Pacific Railroad,
Announcement of the new
“train-auto” service was made by
Hugh W. Siddall, Chairman of
the Trans-Continental — Western
Passenger Associations, on behalf
of the participating railroads. Hb
said the service was the railroads’
answer to the prayer of the
traveler who likes the mobility of
an automobile at certain points
but dislikes driving the long in-
termediate distances.
The magnitude of the project is
emphasized by the fact that t$e
railroads participating represent a
total of more than 100,000 miles.
Railway Extension, nc., is headed
by Edw. M. O’Shea and R. H.
Rogers of Lincoln, Nebraska,
I pioneer automobile distributors in
j that state and experienced oper-
ators. Main headquarters of Rail-
way Extension, Inc., will be -in
Chicago, with branch offices in
many Western cities. It is under-
stood that several popular makes
of automobiles will be used in the
equipment set-up and that current
models will be supplied each year.
Under the train-auto plan, Mr.
Siddall explained, a traveler may
arrange for an automobile before
leaving his home town, or after
reaching the key city where he
wishes to engage it. Advance res-
ervations will, of course, assure
the car being available when
wanted. Railway Extension repre-
sentatives will meet the passenger
upon arrival of his train, where
final arrangement* are made.
The basis of rates for the auto-
mobiles, which includes gasoline,
oil and maintenance as well as in-
surance protection, will be as fol-
lows:
8c a mile, subject to following
minimum mileages:
Per hour—10 miles (80c.) <
Per 12-hour day—75 miles ($6.)
Per 24-hour day—136 miles
($10.80.).
Per week—360 miles ($28.00.)
Per 24 hour day after 1st wee!
—50 miles ($4.00.)
O’/ac a mile subject to minimum
of 1000 miles per week ($63.00.)
The rental will be the same
whether one or five persons oc-
cupy the automobile. Where pas-
sengers do not have an identifica-
tion card, a cash deposit will be
required.
vacation at their destination in-~t
[ stt^d of devoting a big part of j
their time motoring to and from
their objective. '
„ Negotiations still are under way
between Railway Extension, Inc.,
and other Western railroads, ami
it is expected that eventually this
automobile service will be avail-
able in practically every town of
19,000 population or ' more
throughout the Welt and South.
Mr. O’Shea, president of Rail-
way Extension, Inc., said that the I
automobiles to be used for the
service would look exactly like
privately owned cars, and that
5 passenger sedans were selected
because they offered the maximum
carrying capacity for passengers
and luggage. --------•-----
“Thousands of people traveling
for business and for pleasure
would go by train,” Mr. O’Shea
added, “if they were assured of
an automobile at their destination
or at Btop-over places made at-
tractive by the liberal, policy of
the railroads. The train-aufb plan
offers the answer—comfortable,
high-speed train service for the’
longer distances and , a private
automobile awaitfng at the sta-
tion.”

plan will prove economical as well
ar convenient, Mr. Siddall cited
the folowing example of its opera-
I tion .*
Mr. A and Mr. B havd occasion
I to visit a spot located 50 miles
from a city 600 miles aNvay. Using
train-auto service, Mr. A goes out
by train one night and returns
| the next. His rail fare for the
1000-mile round-trip is $18 if he
j uses comfortable chair cars; about
$30 (including lower berth if he
| travels in a Pullman.) He pays $8
| rental for the 100-mile automobile
I trip.
Mr. B, on the other hand, drives
I all the way, spending a day going
[out, a day there, and a day re-
turning. Accepting cost figures for
| private automobile operation, es-
I tablished by industrial surveys,
[the 1100-mile round-trip costs him
about $66. He also must pay for
two nights’ lodging and three
| days’ meals.
Thus, Mr. A is away from his
home office only one business day
and makes the trip at a cost of
$30 to $42, including meals and
incidentals, while .Mr. B ig away
from the office three business
days end his trip costs double the
| amount of Mr. A’s.
Mr. Siddall said the train-auto
j plan should prove similarly at-
tractive to many vacationists. Em-
j ploying fast, air-conditioned trains
for traversing the long, interven-
I mg distances, they would be able
to spend practically all of their
renders their further living to
gether insupportable.
Whereford, plaintiff prays that
she be cited to appear in the time
and in the manner provided by
law, that is, by publication, and
that upon final hearing, he be
given judgment dissolving said
marriage relation.
Herein Fail Not, and have before
said Court, at its aforesaid next
regular term, this Writ with your
return thereon, showing how you
have executed the same.
Given under my hand and the
Seal of said Court, at office in
Fairfield, Texas, this the 10th day
of February A.D. 1940.
