 The nuisance of the switching freight train at this station is becoming more apparent every day and there is much complaint at the delays while waiting at the crossings for freight trains to do the switching. Quite often both crossings are lblocked by freight cars, while the engine may be down at Judd 5 switching There is but little attention paid by tue conductors to the law that forbids blocking the crossings beyond a, specified time and in consequence there ara times when several teams and pedestrians have to wait ten or more minutes for Q freight train to get out of the way. Saturday evening about five minutes before the 10:31 train from New Hcvan came in a freight train from the north rolled into the station, blocking both crossings, and the en- zine uncoupled and went below and did some switching. A gentleman con1- ing from the west side on Hall avenue had to climb over between the freight cars to get the 10:31 train. A lady com ing from the west side of the track could not have connected with the train as it was over three minutes later when the train moved on.
