r,srv one Of the stations is on the great

no,,road or. IN other words, on the main
pns of the railroad
Norvalk. Conn. is about a mile north

sr.rt,v the latter furnishes tho prosperous
and charming town Of Norwalk with one
- The principal express stations on the
main line Of the New Haven.
south Norvalk and Norwalk are almost
.1tb,n the hour committing zone OF the
greater city
Millions have heen spent IN recent years
q, making the main line throughout its en-
,,rs length the best laid and the most eff
,,.rtlv maintained railroad route in this
eountrv
Flectri-ity as a motive power has almost
xhollv replaced steam on the main line;
trains make better time and run AT closer
b.sdvsv than on most other similar rail-
usv routes through a territory Of equal
,auroad needs. the moving trains cause
r,tle dust 70 rise and a journey can be
made not only easily and quickly but com
fortablv. Besides. delays do not often occur.
This estimate Of the service furnished by
ths New Haven Railroad is not formed
from the deductions of real estate men.
They are not experts on such matters. 1t
q true that they pay close attention to the
opinions Of commuters and other travellers
as 70 whether the train service of a rail
road is satisfactory. and are also constant
iy trying 10 determine the value Of railroad
lines 10 places where they are active as
brokers.
But many railroad men who know when
q roadbed is properly ballasted have said
that. mile for mile, the main line of the
New Haven Railroad TO New Haven is not
SURPASSED by any other trunk route in this
country
Moreover. it is a four-track route, and
that is one Of the principal reasons that Its
express trains make such excellent time.
The Boston Express, No. 81, leaves the
xreater Grand Central Station at Z noon.
u reaches New Haven. its first stop, at 1:3s.
Thus the Journey of about seventy-four
miles Is covered in Just ninety-eight min
utts
There are only a few express trains
which do not stop at Bridgeport The
average running time Of trains between
The greater Grand Central Station and
Bridgeport Is about lightweight minutes.
That is an excellent average for trip OF
about fifty-sx miles. the larger part OF
which is through one Of the biggest suour-
Ran divisions Of the metropolitan area
When the vast terminal Improvements at
the greater Grand Central Station are COM
pleted. 1t will be possible 10 lessen the
running time Of all trains on the New
Haven Railroad from 42d street to the city
limits. Just north OF Wakefield.
Would YOU then be surprised to hear OF
express trains to South Norwalk, which,
as previously said, is also an express sta-
ton on the main line to residents OF Nor
walk. covering the fOrty-one miles IN ABOUT
forty-one minutes, and those 10 New Ma
ven the seventy-four miles in about eigh'y
minutes Railroad men would not be sur
prjsed. nor would real estate men.
Many Realty Chances.
There are almost innumerable opportu-
mites IN the picturesque rural district from

Natural drainage. The ground is hiAS
por,h Of the railroad tracks, and genty
