HEAVY PASSENGER
TRAFFIC TO-DAY
Railroads Provide for Thanksgiving
Rush - Afternoon and Evening
Trains Likely TO BE Crowded.

Unusually heavy traffic is expected on
both the Central Vermont and the Bos-
ton & Maine trains today, due to the
Thanksgiving holiday tomorrow. As early
rs Yesterday an increase of the number
of people who take trains daily at the
station was noted Today a still larger
number went aboard both northbound
and southbound trains, and this after
noon and tonight it is expected that all
trains will be taxed to the limit.
Railroad officials have made prepara-
tions TO handle the unusual traflc incl
dent to the holiday. Shortly after MD
night. special train of empty passen-
ger ears went north, presumably TO take
care of the students of Dartmouth col
lege at Hanover. who viii return 10
their homes throughout the Connecticut
valley today. Today n special train OF
four cars went north as the first section
II No. 703, leaving here ut Sol. This
train went as far as Claremont from
which point II returned as the first sec
ton of southbound No. 40 Tor Spring
field. leaving here at , o'clock.
1t is expected that southbound NO.
72S White River Junction TO Spring
field. will carry extra coaches as will
northbound trains Nos. TIT and ~.
which will leave Brattleboro at 60 and
1925 respectively.
Traffic conditions in the local yards
have therefore been unusually heavy to-
day. especially since over 200 freight
cars arrived during the night so that
room for storage and switching is at a
premium today.
