New York to San Francisco in Fifty Hours
Railways and Airways Joined In Big Plan COMFORTABLE TRAVEL (United P.A.—By Telegraph — Copyright) (United Service) Rec d. 9-40 a.m. NEW YORK, Wed. A national transportation system, combining airplanes and the fastest trains, is being inaugurated, to cut the time from New York to San Francisco exactly to two days. It will be a parallel of rail and air services, in order to avoid tiring tho passengers unduly by prolonged air flights. A tourist could start early in the morning from New York, fly all day to Chicago, and there take the night train and get a comfortable sleep to Omaha. There he would catch the airplane again next morning, and finally arrive at San Francisco aboard the train 50 hours after leaving home. The Pennsylvania Railways and the National Air Transport Company, with the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway in the West, are handling the scheme.
