FORDELAWARE
RAILROAD
New Train Takes Place Of
One Against Which Patrons
Complained
DOWN In AFTERNOON,
BACK In MORNING

Following an investigation of pub
lie complaints because a train was
run on the Delaware Railroad for
several days without drinking water
and without adequate toilet facilities
for the passengers, the railroad com
pany today made great improvement
in the train service.
A train thorough in every way
from the viewpoint of equipment and
conveniences has been placed on a
regular run on the division, and the
equipment of all trains will be i'm
proved as much as is possible. The
new train was made up entirely Of
standard steel coaches, with separate
toilet for men and women passen-
gers, ample drinking water, luggage
racks. etc. IL is the equal of any
train of day coaches run on the Penn
sylvania Railroad system, and the
improvement was favorably comment
ed on by the passengers
The train came up the Delaware
Division this morning, having gone
down the division yesterday after
noon. II will be run regularly down
the division each afternoon, coming
from Philadelphia and leaving
French Street Station at 2.25 O'Clock
for Harrington, and returning each
morning, arriving at French Street
Station at $40 o'clock.
Several other trains on the Della
ware Railroad now contain steel
coaches in proportion to the num-
ber the company has available al
Broad Street Station when the trains
are made up
