On ‘Eerie’ Road
(Continued From Page 1)
something of a dabbler in railroading
himself, presented young Fred with a
hundred or so feet of small track and
a tiny flat ear. The ycuthful rail-
road magnate and his friends laid out |
the track and for years amused them-
selves with riding about on the moa-
est car, which made up in enthusiasm
But Fred was a friend of the late
John Vaughn, who operated a private
railroad system in his side yard at his
Kingston home. After a ride or two
on Mr. Vaughn's steam engine, he fig-
ured he’d never be satisfied until he
was the possessor of a real honest-to-
goodness engine himself. And in 1931
he bought one, along with over a thou- !
sand feet of big track, and started the
Eerie Railroad Line, insured at $5,000,
with central offices on Terrace Street.
The grand opening fell on a day in
September, 1932, and for the festive
occasion Mr. Kirkendall had over a
hundred railroad officials, coal com-
pany executives, and friends on hand.
And since that time a good many other
sizeable parties have been entertained
on the Eerie’s prize passenger car.
The late O. P. Miller, engineer at
the time on the crack Black Diamond
express of the Lehigh Valley lines,
operated “President Roosevelt” on its
maiden trip, and one of Mr. Kirken-
dall’s prize possessions is an oil can
presented to him by that well-known
trainman.
COMING TO KINGSTON
THEATRE NEXT WEEK
Because of the unusual length of the feature “Marie Antoinette”
there will be continuous shows at
Thursday and Friday, staring at 2:15.
Kingston Theatre next Wednesday,
The feature will show at 2:48,
5:48 and 8:48. Norma Shearer and Tyrone Power, shown above, are
the stars, and other roles are taken by John Barrymore, Anita Louise,
Gladys George and Robert Morley.
About three years ago Mr. Kirken-
' dall was involved in his railroad’s only
accident. On that occasion the engine
slipped on wet tracks, broke through
the back of the car barn, and ran a
flat car down the hill right into the
pump house behind Shepard’s lot. But
nothing like that will ever happen
again, according to Mr. Kirkendall
The engines are behaving well, the
switch lights are all green, and there's
a clear track ahead for the Eerie, In-
corporated.

Swing From G. O.P.

and its vicinity began giving ground
to the Democrats in 1932 when Pres:-
dent Roosevelt defeated Herbert Hoov-
er. Since then the Democratic party
has gained consistently here, although
its strength has never been adequate
to threaten the Republican lead.
reversal of that trend in the last few
months may indicate a new swing, or
it may be only loyalty to a Luzerne
County candidate for Governor.
