Pennsylvania 60 Look Over Road in Gasoline Car
On Wednesday seven Pennsylvania railway men toured the Coal Railway in a gasoline car to assess the line. The group included the traffic manager Collins and an assistant, roadmaster Johnson of Loganport, and several others as they gathered data on past and stalled future business. The report notes the road bed is in good shape, with some areas better than the state line division, and hints at a potential takeover of sections from Goodland to Swanington and Fair Oaks. A Friday meeting was planned, but a conference in Indianapolis with the Public Service Commission accelerated plans. The men declined to state company intentions, but the move could signal resumed service if pursued.
