At
a
quarter
before
six
the
travellers
reached
the
station
,
and
found
the
train
ready
to
depart
.
As
he
was
about
to
enter
it
,
Mr.
Fogg
called
a
porter
,
and
said
to
him
:
"
My
friend
,
was
there
not
some
trouble
to-day
in
San
Francisco
?
"
"
It
was
a
political
meeting
,
sir
,
"
replied
the
porter
.
"
But
I
thought
there
was
a
great
deal
of
disturbance
in
the
streets
.
"
"
It
was
only
a
meeting
assembled
for
an
election
.
"
"
The
election
of
a
general-in-chief
,
no
doubt
?
"
asked
Mr.
Fogg
.
"
No
,
sir
;
of
a
justice
of
the
peace
.
"
Phileas
Fogg
got
into
the
train
,
which
started
off
at
full
speed
.
"
From
ocean
to
ocean
"
--
so
say
the
Americans
;
and
these
four
words
compose
the
general
designation
of
the
"
great
trunk
line
"
which
crosses
the
entire
width
of
the
United
States
.
The
Pacific
Railroad
is
,
however
,
really
divided
into
two
distinct
lines
:
the
Central
Pacific
,
between
San
Francisco
and
Ogden
,
and
the
Union
Pacific
,
between
Ogden
and
Omaha
.
Five
main
lines
connect
Omaha
with
New
York
.
New
York
and
San
Francisco
are
thus
united
by
an
uninterrupted
metal
ribbon
,
which
measures
no
less
than
three
thousand
seven
hundred
and
eighty-six
miles
.
Between
Omaha
and
the
Pacific
the
railway
crosses
a
territory
which
is
still
infested
by
Indians
and
wild
beasts
,
and
a
large
tract
which
the
Mormons
,
after
they
were
driven
from
Illinois
in
1845
,
began
to
colonise
.
The
journey
from
New
York
to
San
Francisco
consumed
,
formerly
,
under
the
most
favourable
conditions
,
at
least
six
months
.
It
is
now
accomplished
in
seven
days
.
