Whitridge, receiver for Union Railway, seeks court leave to end transfer exchanges with Yonkers and Westchester Electric Rail Road and to discontinue common use of certain Bronx surface lines. He argues transfers cause public inconvenience but boost Union profits while critics warn of franchise and service impacts.
