ELECTRIFICATION PLANS FOR
THE I). & II.
But Ono Obstacle Now Faces Dela
ware & Hudson Railroad En
gineers Lino to Run Between
Sci-nnton and Cnrbondnle.
Under consideration for years,
plans for the electrification of the
Delaware and Hudson railroad be
tween Scranton and Carbondale is
now stated by reports from reliable
sources to be pretty close to con
crete shape.
It Is understood that there is just
one problem that stands as the ob
stacle and that if the engineering de
partment can figure out ways and
means of overriding this, the plans
for using electricity for the com
pany's passenger service between
those cities will be taken up, with
every prospect of being adopted.
This problem concerns the diffi
culty the company would have in
using the outside tracks for passen
ger traffic, because of the many
branches running Into mine work
ings of the company along the line.
By outside tracks are meant those
on the extreme west and east of the
roadway, the company now having a
four-track line to Carbondale. It
isn't possible to use the inside tracks,
as they are arranged at present, as
this would necessitate the traveling
of passengers over one set of tracks
to reach the passenger line.
All hope of the Laurel Line ex
tending to Carbondale has been
abandoned. Several times since the

Next Door to Rowland's Jewelry Store.
j. j. .j. .j. . .j, .j. .j. , II5Ifff
road was opened to WllkesiBarre,
the Laurel Line company has taken
up the matter of tho Carbbndale ex
tension only to drop It each time.
At one time options were secured on
soveral'propertles, one being planned
as tho site 'for a terminal In Carbon
dale. Those options expired and ac
cording to the statement of a prom
inent man of tho company the plan
Is dead for all time.
Since the completion tho addi
tional two tracks by the Delaware &
Hudson company it has been whis
pered around that plans were to be
taken up 'for the electrification of
two tracks for passenger traffic,
which would make possible a twenty-minute
service and do much to
ward the development of traffic be
tween the two cities and Intervening
places. The Laurel Line since Its
opening has Increased traffic between
Wllkes-Barre and Scranton twelve
times over.
The average Increase In traffic
brought by lines run as Is the 'Laurel
Line is four fold. Between Scran
ton and 'Carbondale there are now
twenty-eight trains a day, fourteen
each way. During the day there are
trains nearly every hour but at night
the service Is much reduced, there
being but two' trains out of Carbon
dale at night, one at '7:10 and the
other at '10:30.
It has1 always been accepted as a
fact that there Is a great deal more
travel between Carbondale and
Scranton and greater opportunities
for such a road as the Laurel Line
than between Scranton and Wllkes
Barre. The original intention of the
promoters of the Laurel Line was to
extend the line to Carbondale and
the line was run to Wilkes-Barre
first because It was easier to secure
the right of way. The Laurel Line
stations In their order from Scran
ton to Wilkes-Barre are: South
Scranton, Virginia, Rocky Glen, Moo
sic, Dupont, Avoca, Plttston, Inker
man, Hilldale and Plains. On the D.
& H. to Carbondale the stations are
Green Ridge, Providence, Dickson
City, Olyphant, Peckvllle and Jes
sup, Winton, Archbald, Jermyn, May
field and Carbondale.
Officials of the D. & H. company
recognize that their line is now in a
good position to go ahead with an
electric road between Scranton and
Carbondale, a Scranton man ,who
ought to know said last week.
