Waterways Decline In Pennsylvania After Rail Growth
A century ago Pennsylvanians celebrated canals and rivers for cheap travel and freight. Rails rapidly captured business, leaving 150 miles of canals abandoned or idle and inland waterways carrying little freight by 1981. Philadelphia and Erie remain two saltwater and lake ports with limited trans Atlantic impact.

Quicksand Delays Sewer Project West of Pennsylvan ia
Quicksand has become an obstacle in the storm sewer constriction west of Pennsylvania Avenue hampering General Foreman Edwayd Harrington and crew. A five foot sewer pipe lies near the Keefe home garage as excavation reaches deep sand with eight feet to go. Rain slowed progress and officials face anxiety over shoring and safety until the sand is cleared. Robert J. Feach of Jamestown remains in hospital as work continues despite a prior business downturn.
