THE ROAD OF ANTHRACITE
Popular Because of Its Superb Serv-
ice.
NO RAILROAD IN THE WORLD

offers to the traveller a more picturesque
route than the Lacllawanna Railroad.
Leaving New York the train crosses the
far-iamed Jersey meadows into the high
lands of New Jersey. Sklrting the Della
ware River the journey lies directly through
the Delaware Water Gap, one of the most
noted scenic views in the world. Thence
to the summit of the Pocono Mountains,
1000 feet above the level of the sea, the
train rushes into Scranton, beyond which
another mountain range is passed before
Bnghamton is reached. Here the road
skirts the beautiful Susquehanna River,
running from there into the valley of the
Chemung River and then into that of
the Genesee. The entire journey lies
through n continuous panorama OF RIP
pling brooks, leaping cataracts, towering
mountains and hill-shadOwed lakes, which
for diversity of interest and beauty OF
landscape is not equaled anywhere on the
American continent.
HUMAN INGENUITY
can do no more for the protection of
trains than is furnished by the signal sys-
TEN in operation upon the Lackawanna
Railroad. Brightly painted semaphores by
day and colored lights by night flash their
warning to the swift-tying trains. These
signals divide the line into blocks, and no
train is permitted to enter them until
preceding trains have passed out OF way.
Where divergng tracks are met, system
of interlocking switches makes the danger
of accident impossible. Crossings, grades
and curves are protected by the most
modern equipment for the safety OF trains.
If for any reason this wonderful mechan-
ism fails to work, signals are automatically
set at danger" and not a wheel moves
until the trouble is ascertaned.
HARD COAL is USED
exclusively on all passenger trains of the
Lackawanna Railroad. This is of peculiar
interest to the traveller over its line, for
the 400 miles of beauty lying between New
York and Buffalo may be viewed through
open windows, without danger from flying
cinde-s or annoying smoke. The roadbei
being rock k-ballasted, there is no dust, ana
the comforts of the journey are further
assured by superb Pullman cars and high
backed airy coaches.
"oRDER WHAT YOU WANT;
pay only for what you order" is the apt
nhrase which describes the dinng-car sys-
TEN On the Lackawanna Railroad. Meals
are a la carte, which means that the traV-
eler who does not care to order an elabo-
rate lepast may make individual selection
from the menu. The cars are stocked with
the choicest things q great market like
New York affords, while fruit, milk,
cream. eggs and similar articles are Sc
cured fresh every day from the vast dairy
and agricultural region through which tho
road Iuns. All through trains carry DIN
ing-na9s. whose management is under the
direct control Of the company.
