ALL NEWS OF THE RAILROADS
PLAN STATION
AT U.S. DEPOTS
It Is Said Ordnance Field Is
to Be Important Stop on
Philadelphia Division
Work on the new Pennsylvania
railroad station at the Middletown
ordnance depot is expected to start
early next week. The name for the
new stopping place has not been an
nounced. A number of names have
been suggested, including Villa,
Graysport, Ordnance and Jednota.
The station it is said will be located
cast of the present crossing.
There is a probability that a sub
way leading to the ordnance depot
field will be constructed. This would
eliminate the present dangerous
railroad crossing.
Major William B. Gray recom
mended this improvement some time
ago. With the new sidings to han
dle traffic to and from the ordnance
warehouse, the crossing has been
made additionally dangerous. The
entrance to the ordnance field will
be west of the tracks. A stibway
would also mean the elimination of
two grade approaches to the cross
ing.
Material on Hand
Planks for the platform, and ma
terial for the fence between the
tracks has been delivered. Surveys
wero made last week. The new
station, it is said, will be a ono-|
story stone and brick structure, and
will include offices for yard forces
in charge of the traffic at both thej
ordnance and aviation depots. It is
said that the ordnance depot will
be an important railroad point on
the Philadelphia division.
Part of the plans will include a
foot subway to enable passengers to
reach trains without the necessity of
crossing the tracks. Two platforms
will be constructed, on east and west

creased motive power, conditions
have greatly improved. General

Tears welled in her eyes as she set

she could pick fruit, after SJorber
told her she would hardly do as a
rlverter.
