the 10 a. m. train on the Portland and

to proceed on his way without help.

MAINE CENTRAL
Great Improvements Being Made at Ban
| gor.

The big job which the Maine Central
railroad is now having done in the Elk
| change street yard in Bangor will be.
when finished, says the Commercial, the
most exstensive and important improve
ment which the company had made in
that vicinity for many years. Since early
last winter a large crew of men has
been at work near the Bangor and Brew
er toll bridge blasting and digging out
rock SO as to make room for more tracks.
but few people know what a change Is
about to take place In this busy part of
the town. In place of the one track
which now runs under the bridge there
Will be five when the work is finished,
This point has always been considered
TO De one OF the most threatening on the
whole Maine Central line, but no acct
dents have ever happened there owing to
the able manner in which the coming
and going of the trains have been looked
after by Yard Master John Buckley.
i or years all of the freight trains and
the trains from the Bar Harbor and
Bucksport branches have come into and
gone out of the Exchange street station
over the track of the Vanceboro main
line. All shifting in the yard has been
done on the main line and many times
the train dispatohers have been obliged
to hold trains at the Veazie siding and
at the yard at the Western depot, on ac-
count of work which was going on at
Exchange street.
H. G. Robinson, the Maine Central
engineer. with corps of assistants, was
in Bangor Tuesday making surveys for
the work, which will take pretty near
the entire summer to complete. The
Bar Harbor and the Bucksport trains will
leave the Exchange street station on sepa-
rate tracks and will run across the rail-
road bridge over a new one hundred foot
iron span on the Bangor end which will
be longer than the one now there.
