"Tomato Limited." "Tomatoes! Tomatoes, did you say? On.the Limited?" A railway ofiicer was shocked when it was suggested that a car of tomatoes should be attached to the State's most exclusive train — the Melbourne Limited express, whieh carries sleeping-car passengers only, says the Sydney Daily Telegraph. In the old days, an officer who made a recommendation like that would have been sent to Dead Dog Flat to finish his railway days in oblivion. With the falling-off in trafiic, the "Limited" has shrunk in size, and from now on, when passenger bookings are light, it will convey urgent perishahle freight. Unofficially it is now the "Tomato Limited."
