 Railroad Station Poor and Small.

Railroad Station Poor and Small.
 To the minds of many prominent men the local station is far too small to accommodate the passengers daily at the station. Plainfield is a junction and is the center of much passenger service. The need of a larger station, with improved accommodations, is evil dent at the holiday season, at which time can be heard complaints of many passengers at the condition of affairs. The fault does not lie with the agent, nor with any of the men connected with affairs at the depot, but with the building itself.
