The Southern Pacific is discontinuing the line, which has run from Fort Worth, Texas, to Ennis, Texas, since 1885. At the time, it was the only line connecting Fort Worth to the southern part of the state. Mr. Adams, 52, will be transferred to the Sunbeam. The new route runs from Fort Worth to Houston, Texas. Mr. Adams is shown looking at a piece of paper. He is dressed in a straw hat and a dark suit.
