WILL ABANDON
OLD RAILROAD

WASHINGTON. Aug. 8. -uF-
The oldest steam railroad in the
country has succumbed TO motor
truck competition.
The Interstate Commerce COM
mission today authorized the Dela-
ware and Hudson railroad to anan-
don "A miles Of its HoneSdale
branch. The road, built about 1929,
was the one over which ran the
Stourbridge Lion, the first loco
motive to pull a train IN this coun-
try.
The road extends from Honesdale
Junction to Lookout Junction In
Carbondale, Pa. Today'S order
authorized abandonment OF all ex-
cept four miles Of the Carbonate
end Of the line.
The road originally was built TO
haul coal out Of the Pennsylvania
hills. 1t has been operated at a loss
for several years and the commits
sion said: The road seems in the
main to have outlired its useful
ness"
1t added that through coal traf-
fic. for which the line was orisi-
nally built. has long moved to the
northeast by other channels and
now SO much Of the other traffic
is moving by motor truck that what
is left for the railroad is wholly in
adequate for its support"
