Freight service over the Harlem

up last night by a fire that destroyed
the administrative offices of the New
York division of the railroad at Willis

and traffic would be in such an upset
state it would require hours to
straighten it. Arrangements for dis
patching trains from Manhattan were
started as soon as the fire was out and
IL was safe TO send trains over the
tracks.
The freight station. which was once a
passenger station and the terminal OF
the Washington flier, was menaced by
the fire. The building destroyed was
