Holiday Traffic Stops Sale of Railway Tickets
A New York rural railroad spokesman said holiday travel caused a suspension of ticket sales at multiple points. Eastbound trains from Kago are sold out and tickets are not available for those trains along the line. Sales halted between Toledo Ohio and Erie Pennsylvania for east and west trains, with only No 609 westbound to Cleveland remaining available. Traffic is worse than ever and a long suspension is uncertain.
