HE PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD

The cars consist of a Pullman composite smoking and
baggage car, a dining car, a twelve-section sleeping car, three
compartment cars, and the private car “Columbia.” Each car
represents the best thought and skill of the leading American
sar-building institution, and in its entirety the train is as
comfortable and as well appointed in all essential details as the
highest class ocean steamer.
As the train emerges from the arched shed of the station it
moves over a viaduct elevated above the busy streets of Jersey
City, and soon reaches the flat and marshy lands that border the

turn out implements and machinery of almost every description,

South of New Brunswick the route leads over a beautiful
plateau which rises on the west in hills parallel to the road
In the middle distance are seen the spires and roofs of Princeton
 College, founded in 1746, and one of the most celebrated
institutions of learning in America. On January 3d, 1777, it

Trenton, the seat of government of the State of New Jersey
soon comes into view, and the gilded dome of the State Capitol
 is seen above the surrounding trees. Trenton contains a
population of 73,307 people and it is chiefly famous for its
potteries. Some of the finest specimens of American china are
