EASTERN RAILRoAp-It is we'll known that
for some time it has been customary with the
Boston and Maine Railroad to purchase pack
ages of tickets from the Maine Central to dis
pose of again to those of their passengers who
wish to visit points on the Maine Central. Now
that the Eastern road has absorbed the Mai ae
Central-metaphoricall speaking-that cor
poration declines to sell the Boston & Maine
any more tickets, so there the matter stands.
1t is further reported that it is the intention
of the Eastern road to run all it's trains,
both Portland and Bangor divisions, into the
Portland, Saco & Portsmouth station, and re-
move a portion of the Maine Central station
Such move consequently necesstates laying
another track down to the Portland, Saco and
Portsmouth station, and considerable widen
ing of that building at once.
