LACKAWANNA BUYS STEEL CARS
As the result of lessons taucht hv
the Corning wreck of July 4 and In
the Interest of greater safety for tho
traveling public, it is the Intention
of tho Lackawanna Railroad ito
make its through trains of all steel
construction, and to this end It will
spend the sum of $300,000. Twen
ty steel coaches have been ordered
