YARDS READY EOR TRAFFIC St. Clair Improvement Will Be In spected by Local Officials and Others Weather permitting, Superintend ent R. J. .Stackhouse, of tho Philadel phia and Reading Railway, with other officials, will visit the new classifica tion yards at St. Clair during the next ten days,. These yards, said to be the largest gravity yards In tho world, are practically ready for business, but the date for the formal opening will be announced later. The yards, it i& believed, will bring about a large increase of business at Rutherford and other points. An thracite coal trains will bo run through to Harrisburg and from Ruth erford south and west, as solid trains, permitting ome trains to bo handled each day. The yards have been In pro gress of building for nearly five years and the total cost of this big Improve ment Is estimated at $2,000,000. Tho yards lie along the foothills of Broad Mountain in Mill Creek Valley, between St. Clair and Port Carbon, and will be known as the St. Clair yards and will be operated almost entirely by gravity. They tap about three fifths of the entire anthracite area of Pennsylvania. The Reading system carries the bulk of the coal mined be tween the Schuylkill and the Susque hanna rivers and from Schuylkill Haven and Shamokin. This amounts to about 1,000,000 tons a month. The cars are daily assembled and classified for destination to the branches of the Reading road. Trains go through without breaking and cars are dropped in their exact order at unloading points on the route. Move ment at the yards is about 1,000 emp ties and 1,000 loaded cars a day. The yards are divided into the north and southbound divisions, with twelve tracks for each and minor trackage to tho ash section, coal pits, engine house, coal dock and other places, There are four extra tracks for the storage of locomotives. Damaged cars are assembled into special trains and sent to tho repair shops.
