Revival of West Penn line to New Castle eyed by Butler board
Butler Pa December 11 The Butler board of trade pledges effort to revive the Pennsylvania Railroad company project extending the West Penn division from Butler to New Castle. Past surveys and grades near Statler Alameda Park hint at a tunnel under Cunningham Street or a route around the Cravenus Bing Creek to reach West Butler. A link would spur improvements on the West Penn and Connemaugh divisions. New locomotives contracts: five 1d-wheel passenger engines by American Locomotive Works for Pittsburgh and Lake Erie Railroad due April next. total motive power and coke cars contracts around 1,000,000 dollars. A Buffalo Rochester Pittsburg equity suit seeks to bar county fines under the two-went law to avoid hardship on revenue. Gross passes: thousands of railroad passes for 1909 being distributed. some divisions delaying passes for next year. William Gay promoted to foreman at Erie Paoneyhanto shops.
