About Us.


The railroads are enjoying the benefits OF
summer travel to resorts. .
The Pennsylvania road offers great at
fractions in its summer excursion routes
this year.
This is light portion of the season for
freights, especially outgoing. The roads
are bringing in but little fall goods as yet
The daisy train" on the b. d o., which
ia No. s. the New Work and Chicago ex-
nress. due here at 2:30 p. NJ, is invariably
late. It comes across the mountains ike

and continuous rope must be used. oc,
casionally coupling breaks and the cord

up for final hearing on Thursday before

using the track between Newark and Co
