Uncle Sam's
Undercjround
Railroad
If you think Uncle Sam took you for a ride at
income-tax time, visit Washington and have a free ride
on the 780-foot underground railroad connecting the
Capitol with the Senate Office Building. No tickets are
required the 90-second trip is available gratis as long
as there's room.
The double-track railway was built (by the Navy!) in
1914 to save Senators time in reaching the Capitol.
Electrically operated, the cars carry 18 passengers plus
the operator, who rides in the center. Congress ap
propriates $3,500 a year for the line.
The timetable calls for the train to run from 8:45 a.m.
to G p.m., but it may continue all night if the Senafct
rntins in session. Th little wheels ket rolling aa long
aa tha big wheal keep talking!
