New Coal Route,

According to the Johnsonburg Press
the Johnsonburg railroad will be used
for hauling coal from Reynoldsville to
Olean, thence to Buffalo, this coal here
tofore having been taken around by way
of Driftwood. From the information at
hand, it is learned that the handling
of this coal will require eight train
crews, four from, the Low Grade
division and the other four from this
end of the line. The coal will be hauled
through Johnsonburg via r. & G. and
will be taken on to Olean over the j.
r. r. At Olean the coal will be de-
livere1 back to the division that is now
completing the haul to Buffalo. At
present these shipments are made by
the way OF Driftwood, but the route
over the J. r. r. is considerably
shorter and better grade, and the
plan is no doubt advanced for the pur-
pose OF overcoming any advantage
gained by the B. & S. people in max
Ing shipments on tine p, S. & N. on
part of the haul to Buffalo. From
Reynuldsville to Oleau is quite dis.
tance and it is likely it will be DIVIDED
into two divisions.
