The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1899-12-05

Massillon the early part of this week,
train No. 8, due in Canton at 2:34 a. M,
was sent around the wreck from Orr
Vile over the G. A. & G. to Hudson,
where they were switched to the Cleve-
land e. Pittsburg, running to Alliance
where they connected with the main
line of the Ft. Wayne. The Canton
passengers on the train got off at AL
lance and returned to this city on
train No. 9, due here at 1910 a. m, after
rather a circuitous route.
o
The two engines that were in the
w. & l.. 70. wreck at Coshocton, last
Saturday, were brought to this city
on Tuesday and are now in the round
house Of the company, and present q
very dilapidated appearance. Nothing
remains of the engine cab and large
holes were made in the forepart Of the
boilers, while pilots, headlights and
other necessaries of a railroad engine
are missing. 1t will take several weeks
before the engines are ready for service
again.
1t Is the purpose of the Pennsylvania
company to abolish every dangerous
grade crossing within the various cities
traversed by it's lines. Many thou
sands of dollars have already been
expended, but there is yet much to be
done. To accomplish this successfully
will take many years as such work can
only be done as funds are available,
and as arrangements can be made with
the municipal authorities of the various
cities in which these crossings are a
menace. There are several of these
dangerous grade crossings in Canton
that might need attention when the
time comes.
The relation of the Cleveland, Akron
& Columbus railway to the Pennsylva-
MIA company no longer remains an
uncertainty. This property is to be
operated as one of the many lines MAX
ing up the great system and will not
lose its identity. 1t is to be known as
the Cleveland, Akron & Columbus
railway the same as now and will not
be known or operated as division of
the road.
c. E. Winteringer, who has been
identified with the G. A. & G. passen-
ger business in Columbus for so long
will be made travelling passenger
agent of the same line under the Penn
| sylvania management and will report
to the Columbus offices. AS regards
| train schedules no material change will
| be made at present
However, the Pennsylvania has a new
| line 175 miles long, owns thirty-seven
| locomotives, 2,915 freight cars, and
| forty-seven passenger cars; it fills an
important link in the Pennsylvania
lines, providing an excellent line be-
tween Cleveland, Cincinnati and Indi-
annapolis, running through Columbus
The c. A. e. C. proper extends from
Columbus to Hudson; Cleveland being
reached by the old management over
the Cleveland and Pittsburg.
| While they now have control of this
road an effort will be made by them to
obtain more bushes out of Cleveland to
Chicago. The Lake Shore has arranged
to run low rate excursion from Cleve-
land to Chicago, and the Pennsylvania
lines will follow suit. 1t is also stated
that the Pennsylvania lines will
establish a through car service via the
G. A. & c., and Ft. Wayne lines, con-
Meeting at Orrville, between Cleveland
and Chicago. Such a line would enable
the Pennsylvania to claim differentia
fair between the two cities and they
! could get large share of business.
