Record-making railroad comet flying through space

A railway train soars like a comet through the sky while an old man runs behind it and a man stands near a sign that reads, "John Bull, his railroad record." Accompanies an article about the Lake Shore special flyer that ran 510 miles in 7 hours from Chicago to Buffalo.
