Daniel Willard, president of the B. and O. railroad, took a trip to Washington in his private carriage, and when the train pulled into the station sauntered up to see the engineer. "I thought we had a rule that this train should not go faster than 60 around the curves." he said. "I had a speedometer in my car and it registered 85 doing the curves." "Speedometer m the cab said 60.” said the engineer. "I didn’t see your car going past me any time."
