RAILROAD NOTES.

The new shortcut line of the Erie
Railroad Company across the Kearny
meadows was used for the first time
on Monday. Nearly three minutes
were saved in the running time. The
new tracks, which switch from the old
line about a mile east OF Arlington
follow a straight course to the new
bridge, and do away with the long turn
to where the tracks formerly met at
the junction with the Newark and
Hudson division. The new line will
be used entirely by the Greenwood
Lake division trains from now on.
