Tuesday November 4. Homeward. I slept better in my "upper" last night than in the "lower" of the midgets before. Weather was completely clearful. It is raining lightly and the run through the Appalachians is therefore uninteresting. We are on time as we were last night and today. The best railway route in America is the P.P.R. The runs fine under deep snow. The evidence that we are going at 45 miles per hour, it is a 1052 miles from N.Y. City to St Louis and it is made in about 25 hours actual running time. This is at the rate of 42 miles per hour including stops. Without the stops the train runs about 50 miles per hour. From St Louis to Muscogee it is 503 miles and from N.Y. to New Haven 70 miles once. Therefore 1052 103 70 1630 1630 miles from Home to Muscogee. I made over 20 miles in Benton car, In addition I hardly have run 300 miles more. With all and during the last 3 weeks I hardly ran 4000 miles.
