The President of the Class of 1913 is also President of the First National Bank of Minneapolis, but perhaps as important as any of his many presidential jobs is that of president of what is possibly the shortest railroad in the United States. Hap Atwood heads the Minneapolis Eastern Railway Cos., an independent incorporated railway operating entirely in Minneapolis with a full slate of officers and directors. Its "main line" is just seven-eighths of a mile long, runs along the Mississippi River's west bank, hidden behind the postoffice, Union and Milwaukee passenger stations. It is listed in the Official Railway Guide as a "terminal switching road connecting with all the diverging railroads."

Old No. 4 engine is the only piece of rolling stock owned by the road and the picture shows Hap with hand on the throttle looking ahead to the maze of switching tracks on his first visit to the road.

Hap has recently returned from a two weeks' trip to Boca Raton to attend the Reserve City Bankers' Convention.
