Pennsylvania Railroad for This Seasons
Big GrDp.


in view of the outlook for large peach
harvest this season, it is reported that the
Pennsylvania railroad freight authorities
are preparing | 800 cars for the service. Ii
is understood that 1000 of them will be
prepared here and 600 at Altoona, Pa.
These cars will be used for all the various
berry crops also. Strawberries will he
ready in May Then Games the dewberry
crop, followed by raspberries. The first
Delaware peaches come in about stimuli
taneously or before raspberries. Black
berries appear also after dewherries and
continue in their different varieties until
about September The peach cars are fur
nished with grated doors at either end Of
the car for ventilating purposes. Shelving
for the baskets in three or four lines is put
up with aisles between for easy loading
and unloading. On account of the needs
of thorough ventilation for the fruit only
about $50 baskets can he placed III car
The cars are furnished also with patent
couples and air-brakes The berry train is
one of the specialties of the Peninsula. It
PUSHES along as fast as a passenger train
and in some instances SURPRISES il in fast
time. Latterly, it does not pass through
the city, but takes advantage Of the cutoff
and travels across the railroad bridge near
Lobdells foundry. Some occasional special
consignments pass through the city by the
i. ~ o. railroad.
