DELMAR

An official OF the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company recently stated
that It may in the near future be
necessary to add another train on
the Del-Mar-Va Division, running
from Philadelphia to Norfolk. The
reason given for such a necessity
was that the recent reduction IN
railroad passenger fares had caused
such an increase In the number Of
persons travelling between these two
cities and by-stations that the pres
ent facilities were inadequate. Il is
rumOred In railroad circles that the
additional train will run at night SO
as to take care of the additional
traffic on train No. 449, which leaves
Wilmington at 1910 a. IN. and ar
Tives in Delmar at 12:49 a. m. Train
No. 449 is named the Cavalier Ex-
press and is one of the p. r. r.
crack flyers, which runs between
New York and Norfolk. The local
newspaper in a recent editorial cit
ed the need Of train running from
Philadelphia to Cape Charles in the
evening and one running north in
the early morning. It suggested that
Train No. 45S which leaves Delmar
at 6:55 a. m. and arrives in Will
mington at 1O:08 a. m. be run from
Cape Charles and train No. 463
which leaves Wilmington at 3:4l D.
m. and arrives in Delmar at 6:35 D.
m, be run to Cape Charles. Neither
of these trains run below Delmar at |
the present and because of this the
lower part of the Peninsula includ- |
ing Salisbury, has no early morning |
train going north and no evening |
train going south, which is deemed |
a necessity due to increase in pass
enger travel.
Many passengers at present trav-
cling on this train south find that It
is impossible to get adequate hotel
facilities here and 1t is a great in
to them.
