ENSACOLA was chosen by the Frisco Railroad Officials as the tidewater terminal of the vast PFrisco and Rock Ishd System. We were proud to greet the first passenger train to run over the new rails, which arrived at 9:30 p. m., June 37, 1928. It is an event of great significance to this seaport. It is a dream come true for many far-sighted citizens who have long held the faith that this port's unusual advantages would one day be utilized toward the building up of Q great commerce and a great city. Pensacola, the city old in traditions, young in spirit and hope, extends the hand of hospitality to its guests on this glorious occasion.
