[EAN: 9781492869184], Neubuch, [PU: Createspace, United States], Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****. An electric locomotive that can make two miles a minute over a properly ballasted roadbed might not be an impossibility, said Mr. Barton Swift ruminatively. It is one of those things that are coming, and he flashed his son, Tom Swift, a knowing smile. It had been a topic of conversation between them before the visitor from the West had been seated before the library fire and had sampled one of the elder Swift s good cigars. It is not only a future possibility, said the latter gentleman, shrugging his shoulders. As far as the Hendrickton and Pas Alos Railroad Company goes, a two mile a minute gait-not alone on a level track but through the Pas Alos Range-is an immediate necessity. It s got to be done now, or our stock will be selling on the curb for about two cents a share. You do not mean just that, do you, Mr. Bartholomew? asked Tom Swift earnestly, and staring at the big-little man before the fire. Mr. Richard Bartholomew was just that-a big-little man. In the railroad world, both in construction and management, he had made an enviable name for himself.<
