Most of the passengers were interested In the speed of the train at this, early period of the journey, but after- wards took no further notice of it, and read, talked, ate, or slept just as in any other train.

Such was the acceleration from the Jasliz permanent way slack that the 8.7 miles from Strohkir- chen to Ludwigslust, which includ- ed the check, were nevertheless covered in 8 min. 25 sec.: the suc- cending 10 miles to Wendisch took only 6 min. 20 sec., at an average of 95 m.p.h.; and the next 12.1 miles to Dergenthin 7 min. 20 sec., at an average of 99 m.p.h. Then followed the severe slack through Willenberge, succeeded by two further Bevere permanent way cheeks in the next 15 miles.
