Evening journal., 1901-05-29

nCatneSS. Adjoining tne pOMoIhouse Is
a car barn, capable of accommodating
thirty cars. OF which number twenty
are now in this city. Immediately ad-
Joining the barn are the company Of
fees. which are furnished splendidly
and fully equipped for the transaction
of a successful railway business. All
the buildings are of attractive architec-
tural design, and the property dis
tinct improvement TO the neighbOrhCOd
in which it is located.
Leaving the buildings the party re-
turned to the city by way of Sixth
street, and left the cars at Market
street.
The trip was in every way satisfao-
tory. The rOadbed is solid. and the
ride Is made even more delightful
because of solidly-cons.ructed and com
Portable cars. which move without a
jar They are equipped with air
brakes, thus lessening the danger of
accidents; are provided with electric
push buttons at every seat. by which
the passenger can notify the conductor
or motorman when he wishes to leave
the ear without having to shout or in
convenience himself by turning in the
direction of the conductor. The eX-
terror and interior finishings are at
tractive, as is known from the descrip-
tiOns given in these columns hereto
fore.
Not only does the opening of the
line mean that the people of the city
will get a cheap rate of fare to Brandy
wine Springs Park and the adjacent
country, which by the way, is bril-
liant at this time in its garb of green,
but, furthermore, opens Rockford Park,
ON the Brandywine creek, to those who
may desire to spend day of pleasure
there. IL is the desire of the COM
pany to eventually build the road to a
point nearer the creek, but the
proximity is so close now that people
will no longer hesitate to become more
familiar with this beautiful section of
Brandywine Park by visiting it.

commodatiOn of the public. They will
