The New York Central, US soon lis 1t learned Of

alecker. the General Passenger Agent,
sau that trains on tho Central ha.l
often made the trip from New York to Chicago

Tl1El:I: HAS BEEN SOME TALK
of late Of Mr.. Vanderbilt constructing 4 road
from New York to Springfield, Mass, to be
operated III opposition to the New York. New
flaven s. Hartford Company. In fact, sur
ycys arc NOW being pushed forward fIutl
Isrouxburs, just aporc Mount Vcrnun. to
Springfield over the sAme route rs tho
parallel road, which follows those OF the New
lurk, New Haven l. Hartford soadvcry closely.
This parallel road is an .oid scheme. started
some fourteen Or fifteen years ngo, but nothing
has ever been accomplished owing to lack
Of funds. Recently 7. L. Darnum has
taken ,n interest In it, and infused some new
life into tho plan OF operations, but The New
-
prehrnd that it will amount to anything. They
arc not SO certain as 10 the failure 0f
the Vanderbilt project, however. in 1S4G a
franchise was granted to the New York, New
Haven s. Hartford, giving it tho right to enter
tho city over the tracks running to what is now
the Grand Central Depot, and excluding nil
other roads pursuing tho same route
II Mr.. Vanderbilt built nu opposf~
ton limo and attempted to run his
4rn1 Hof1nf hn
meet with obstinate resistance from the New
York, New Haven s. Hartford "A new road
could come into the city on the Metropolitan
Elevated tracks, which cross the Harlem" River.
It is said by some that Mr. Vanderbilt docs
mol intend to build road. but IS making tho
surveys to warn tho New York, New Haven y
Hartford that it must not take tho business OF
tho Pennsylvania and other roads to the dctrl-
mcnt OF his interests.
