A special D & R. G. train, conveying $100,000 in currency for the relief of the Pueblo banks, made the run from Burnham to 8th street in Pueblo, on Thursday, in 2 hours and thirty-six minutes. The distance is 116 miles and includes a climb of 2,000 feet. This breaks the record of Colorado railroads. Several minutes were consumed in necessary stoppages, so that the actual running time was only about two hours and twenty minutes, an average of nearly 50 miles an hour. —Rocky Mountain Herald
