...those who wanted to make a noise. The sleepy men finally got the best of it, that is to say, those did who slept through the shifting of the cars at Albany. Tuesday morning after breakfast at Syracuse, the men amused themselves by watching the engineer trying to cool a hot box, and by running races along side of the train. In the afternoon the weather kept them on the train, and after lunching at Buffalo the men wandered all over the train.
