New Castle. Feb. 2.-Worknen living
an New Castle who are employed in
Wilmington. those who have business
there almost daily and IN fact all per-
sons who are accustomed to use the
trolley line between the two points are
interested An the proposed new route
OF the road.
I'm speaking OF the route under con-
sideration an official of the Winning
ton, New Castle and southern Rail-
way said last might that the company
did not intend to leave the New Cas-
tie road at Rogers Corner, as was the
general impression. but would use its
present tracks as far as the Whining
ton & Northern crossing. AT this point
the company may bend the line and
run parallel with the Reading tracks
and to the south Of them as far as the
causoway where the railroad VIII be
crossed. BY this means workmon em-
pioyed IN shops located ia South Wil-
mington win be able TO reach their
work almost as readily as they do at
present.
Railroad Crossings.
In entering Wilmington over the pro-
posed new route four lines OF railroad
VIII have to be passed over. the same
number as on the present route. II will
be necessary to go over the b. q o.,
the y. & r., the New Castle out-off OF
the Delaware division Of the Pennsyl-
vanla and the marin line Of the p, b.
& w. at Water and Market streets.
The company does not anticipate any
trou'ble regarding the crossing OF the
three first mentioned lines, as they viii
be on marsh land practically and an
overhead bridge would scarcely be ne
cessary for the safety of the travelling
pnblc, as a general thoroughfare would
not be opened. Should amy controversy
arise however. between the railway
and railroads as 60 whether crossings
shall be at grade or by overhead sys-
tenn the railway company will carry
the matter before Chancellor Nichol-
son for his decision As TO the tracks
at Water and Market Streets the plan
to cross Them overhead would be prac-
tically an imposslbllity owing 10 the
faet that the Pennsylvania railroad
win, in a short time establish its ele-
waited road system through the city.
