Locomotive Runs
On New Rail Line
Puffing and snorting of a heavy
locomotive and gravel train initiated
the new railroad re-located right-of_
way Saturday morning, as Orino,
Birkemeler A Saremal went into

Previously all that has traveled
the new track has been the freak
truck and small gravel car used for
initial ballast spreading by the con­
tractors and at one time a steam-
powered railroad crane, but Satur­
day morning saw the first real train
on the rails.
W ith a train of 20 gravel ears
bearing ballast for the lin«- between
Lancaster cut and the tunnvi, the
heavy locomotive moved slowly
along the line. There was no tooting
of w histles or waving of flags. Just
another day in the work-week for
the contractors.
Not even a long-tail-coated oeiega-

load of ballast to be dumped. The
line will soon be complete to the
Locks junction.
