RAILROAD NOTES.

The city papers within the last few
days under the heading " Jersey City
Side-tracked" have told of the start
ing of work on the new Pennsylvania
line from Kearney to the Hudson
River connecting with the tunnel.
Telling of the expensive train shed
and work at Jersey City, the writer
has wondered at the great value ap-
parently to be thrown away.
On Sunday the Newark Sunday
Call" called attention to the addi-
tion of a number of local trains be-
tween Newark and Jersey City and
the fact that the Pennsylvania has APP
parently changed its policy Of encour-
aging only through traffic, and is ca
tering for the local service. The Hud-
son tunnel company is to dig a tunnel
from the Pennsylvania Jersey City
station under the river to down town
New York.
1t will probably be found that Penn
sylyania has changed its policy and
will cater to the thousands of commu-
tiers and others who daily travel from
New Jersey to New York using the
Jersey City station with tunnel and
ferries for that service.
1t is rumored that Pennsylvania
will soon have line to Morristown
for suburban service. Whether the
present Railway Valley building into
Summit is part of the scheme is I'M
certain, but the story is that Pennsyl-
vania is coming.
Last Wednesday the most popular
topic of conversation in Springfield
was the arrival of three forty-ton Lee
high Valley coal cars at Westfield ave
nue., consigned to Elmer Sickley, who
runs yard in the village. Mr..
Sickley is very proud of receiving the
first consignment of merchandise over
the Railway Valley r. r. A curious
coincidence is the fact that the first
shipment of coal over the Lackawanna
to Milburn was to his father, the late
ziba H. Sickley.
The road runs from Aldene on the
N. ). Central and Roselle Park on the
Lehigh Valley to Springfield and the
graders are hard at work on the line
between Springfield and Summit.
Train service will be started ON Au-
gust Is.
