Tins true short-story was adapted from
' "Priority Special," by-Harry Bedwell,
S. P. operator and noted writer of rail
road stories for national magazines. It
was dramatized recently on "The Main
Line," oar weekly radio show.
8GT. ERNIE WALL hospital train
. 1( patient and eS.P. railroader eyed
tne tnres silent patients in we dutucs
opposite, and the Medical Corps Major.
Hm thiee wounded men had been carried aboard
in Los Angoloa in heavy body casts. Every
slight jar and jolt caused them waves of pain.
Buddies from the same Arizona range land, they'd
been seriously wounded by the same Jap mortar
hell. They hadn't rallied in the hospital, and now
.they were being returned to a hospital near
their home a final, desperate attempt to save
thsir lives.
But, as the train left the station, there'd been
sudden application of the air brakes for
an auto trying to beat the train to the crossing.
TUsa jolt had brought them unbearable agony:
More such jolts might come ariB even the
mall vibrations of starting and stopping were
; ' ' :' " I .-. ..'
I ' 'V ''S 1 ' ' 1
1 told you that was a good hogbead! Sr, the
station's there on the left Go in, and yoii'll see
a guy harnessed to a headphone. He's thebrasa
pounder: the op. Give him the picture! Just ask
him to tell the DS to give us a good run, and to
slip it to the hogger to take it extra easy on how
he puts the air under this tram."
Somehow, Ernie hypnotized the Major with
his sincerity and strange language. Major
obeyed Sergeant and Ernie settled back. He
knew S. P. people like Harva White, the en
gineer ahead; Si Youngblood, the station's
veteran operator; Ed Farwell, Los Angeles dis
patcher, the "DS." Sure, they'd give 'em a
good run . . :
In a few moments the Major returned, an un
decided look on his face. Quickly, before he could
speak, Ernie began, "Did the brass pounder get
word to the DS the dispatcher, sir?"
On went the train III on through the night. In
the cab, Harva and his fireman . . . in the D3
office, Ed... along the way, other dispatchers and
operators, the yardmasters, and all the others . . J
all making split-second decisions to give tlie Prior'
ity Special a "good run" . . . letting it go through
unchecked while other trains paused momentarily
at meeting points . . :
The miles clicked by'.:: telephone and telegraph
wires hummed . . . schedules were re-worked, tuned
to the second. On went the train . ; . Alhambra,
Colton ... up Son Gorgonio Pass .. .India. Not a
single stop, despite the many other war trains
crowding the division .: i
Then Ernie became aware of a stir In the op
posite bunks. The current of life suddenly quick
ened. The eyes of the three burned with an
expectant glow.
The desert!" one of them whispered. "Mister;
. don't that smell good!'.'
Through the odors of drugs and
medicines and germ-proof cleanliness,
they had caught the first faint fra
grance of their homeland. And at
last, they were at peace. . .
wearing. Aa Ernie watched, the Major made a
decision. He told bis orderly, "Tell the conduc
tor well have to remove throe stretcher patients
at the next station."
Ernie could feel the hope draining from the
three boys. He could sense' how vital it was they
get home and he moved in.. "That jolt, sir,"
he said, "don't have to happen again, now that '
we're away from city traffic, and if the DS can
keep bis hands off us from here on. We're com
ing into Alhambra now, and we're going to stop;
Let's see how the eagle-eye does it when he's
. not forced." ; '
.. They bad lost Momentum; but she Major
couldn't tell by how much. The train drifted
smietly; then, all motion was gone. Quickly;
Ernie pushed his advantage;
"Yes, he told the dispatcher," the Major
answered vaguely. .
"And did the dispatcher get word to the eagle
eye the engineer?"
"Yes," the Major nodded absently, "he called
the engineer to the phone. Said something to
him about a Priority Special."
"He did? Well, sir, you've got not a thing to
worry about from here out. Why. Priority
Special's the kind of train the President of the ,
United States gets!" i , .
Ernie leaned over the edge of the bunk anil
grinned. The three hurt men relaxed, grinned
back and the Major was aware then that there
are elements of the spirit that medical science
couldn't roach.' '- ' " V-'
Ernie listened to far, familiar sounds, gave a
complacent nod, and made a remark which jolted
the Major. "Had you noticed we're on the way
again?"
The Major glanced quickly out of the window:
The town lights were streaming by, thinning .
rapidly as the Priority Special swung into the
open country at a growing speed.. Yet Ernie
alone had felt it when Harva White put his
train into gliding motion .; ;
Again, the Major was conscious of
elements far beyond our horizons.
And then, 88 he turned away, he
saw Ernie. "How did you know we
could have a W like this? With all
the people involved . . . all those other trains on
the track ...
"Why," said Ernie, "that's just how it had
to be done. It's men and women with the know
how, hitting it off together. They'd just naturally
handle a job like this without a stumble." He
said it with candid conviction.
The Major considered this a moment, "I think
you're right, Sergeant," he said, and went grate
fully to bed.

Special," by Harry Bedwell, is now
