:01:44
There's the 23rd marker, sir.
:01:46
Twenty-three miles
in one hour and 14 minutes.
:01:48
- Gentlemen, that is moving.
- Our engineer is trying to set a record.
:01:53
I doubt if we can maintain this speed
on our regular schedule.
:01:56
Why not? If this train can do it,
the rest of them can.
:01:59
Providing Colonel Dodge's new town
is worth speeding to reach.
:02:02
You wait.
Right now it's the end of the line...
:02:05
...but in a couple years,
it'll give more business...
:02:08
...than any town west of Chicago.
- I hope you're right.
:02:11
You've stuck to that argument
for five years.
:02:13
Why shouldn't I? I've raised that town
from two hog pens and a buffalo waller.
:02:19
How big is it now, colonel?
:02:21
Well, at the last census, gentlemen,
they had three buffalo wallers.
:02:28
Look. There goes the stagecoach
from Wichita.
:02:31
We'll be carrying the mail
from now on.
:02:36
Listen to the darn snorting teapot.
She's already winded.
:02:39
- By Jove, we'll run her into the ground.
- Better pull your whip to him.
:02:49
- Willie.
- Yes, sir, boss?
:02:52
You tell our engineer if that
stagecoach beats us, he's fired.
:02:56
Yes, sir. And if this train
go any faster...
:02:58
...I'm gonna get off and walk
because I don't like this zest of the Lord.
