The officials of the Fort Wayne are
debating whether to run the passenger
trains on the new four track section

passenger trains, 50 as to be consistent
with the Pennsylvania rules and regu-
lations. AS the Pennsylvania railway
crews run through to Conway, near
| Rochester it would be an unwise move
10 have two different sets OF run; Ing
| rules.
