Hudson company removed the two
mine locomotives which were previous
ly housed in Plymouth. to the round
house in Wilkes Barre, and it was re-
ported at the time that the engines at
Mill Creek would also be brought to
the same place. The Mill Creek crews
were considerably exercised over tha
matter as many of the men own their
own properties in that town, and could
not afford to move their families to
Wilkes Barre.
Months passed and the men conclud-
ed that the rumor of removal was with
out foundation. but on Friday last bull
letins were posted announcing that on
November | the Mill Creek round house
will be abandoned and the engines at
present housed there Will be removed
to the round house in Wilkes-B Barre.
There are four engines and crews,
and the removal upon such short notice
will entail considerable discomfort to

carrying them to and from their work
