Night car signs urged to ease boarding in Wilkes-Barre

The cost is stated as small, and the idea aims to reduce delays for passengers and operators. Also reported is a fatality in Wilkes-Barre when two men were struck by a Lehigh Valley train near Summit View after stopping to rest while berry picking. One man died at 11:30 p.m. and the other was injured.
