The final steps in preparation Tor
the opening of the New Jersey Cen
trails Newark transfer station tomor-
row were taken this afternoon when
the staff of station attendants were
pat through a course of instructions
by the station master, and finishing
touches were applied by electricians
ana plumbers, under the direction or
General Agent s. B. hartman and
Chief of Maintenance of Way c. H.

Newark transfer is located on the

crosses the meadows and the two
rivers) just west of the Passaic river
bridge where the so-called nigh

city. on co ncrete and stone culVert.
lust west of the transfer station the
tracks span Avenue p, and few feet
still further west new tracks on
n high curved fill connect with the
Newark and Elizabeth branch.
One of the most important improve
rnents which have come with the new
station is the erection of brick signal
towers and steel signal bridges, to-
pether with the installation of COM
plete modern interlocklng plant; They
are the last word in signal and
switching engineering. and insure the
greatest facility in "'cross-over"
movements They also promote to the
utmost the safe operation of Strains
through a network of tracks, in four
different directions.
The through service by way of New
ark Transfer, with stops at jackson
avenue station as already announced
in the Evening Star. is to a certain
extent preliminary. 1t is by no means
as complete as the plans of the com
pany contemplate 1t shall be when
the new high embankment across the
meadows Settles sufficiently to per-
nit the running of trains at more
than twenty-five miles an hour, the
maximum rate to which engineers are
restricted under existing "slow or
ders" BY spring it is expected that
more trains can be operated and
faster time made, so that in all prob
ability the service will be doubled
when the May, 1914, timetable is laid
out
