READING MAY
LET B. 6 0. USE
ITS TERMINAL

Railroad circles heard yesterday
that the Philadelphia and Reading
and the Baltimore & Ohio would soon
enter into a traffic agreement which
would ultimately result in both roads
using the Reading Terminal. in Phila-
delphia. Although officials of the COM
panies concerned may sign such an
agreement il is understood that il
will not be put into effect until the
removal OF grade crossings in South
Philadelphia. in which the Baltimore
4 Ohio is interested, are completed.
II such arrangement is reached,
trains from the South would be
switched back from the Baltimore &
Ohio tracks through the subway to
the Terminal, and would then use the
Reading elevated and Jersey Central
tracks TO New York. Trains from
New York would run directly into the
Terminal and then through the sub
way to the Baltimore & Ohio tracks
along the Schuykill river.
