IMPROVEMENTS LOOKING TO SAFETY HAVE CUT
OFF PLEASURE OF TRAVEL.
The changes necessary In abollshing grade cross
ings and widening the roadway OF the New-York
and New Haven Railroad Company have taken
away many attractive sights long familiar to sub
urban residents who frequently go to and fro be-
tween the city and Westchester or Connecticut
towns High walls OF stone have at many points
replaced terraces OF turf. and occasional Views OF
pretty villages have been INSTRUCTED by the APP
proaches built at almost every station below Green
wich In order TO prevent accidents to those who
drive to the stations. bridges have been built
from the inland side to pass over these bridges in
order to take trains for the north to meet those
arriving on trains from the city Those who live
between the railroad and the Long Island Sound
are in like manner compelled to take a roundabout
course over the bridge to the northery westerly
side OF the railroad. The raising OF the tracks
necessary to the building OF a higher bridge across
the Harlem River also obstructs for the present
much Of the light and air TO passengers over the
New Haven road When this temporary work Ia
over the approaches to the bridge over the Harlem
will be much more pleasant than when the passage
led through the sunken roadway at present in use.
The stations between one hundred and thirty
eighth-st and Woodlawn within the city limits
Continuous high walls through most OF the sub
urban region take away the variety and attractive
ness OF the views from the car windows. and even
the nfrequent travellers prefer TO read their
daily newspapers rather than TO endeavor to OBJ
tain solace for their eyes from anything to be
along the route The safety and convenience OF
the new arrangement are thoroughly realized by
the regular passengers the road. but It affords
another example Of the sacrifice OF beauty to utility
which Is 30 frequently necessary. AT few Of
the stations the driving roads pass under The rail;
OF busy village streets and OF handsome country
homes browning the ne'ghborng hills.
