Erie signaling shift as rail rivals plan eight month work span
E L Fuller told the anthracite coal operators in New York that the Delaware Valley and Kingston railroad will finish its main work in eight months. He said the line would run from the Hudson river to Lackawaxen and then toward Wyoming Valley with a later Hawley to Lackawaxen link if needed. He claimed 97 miles of new track would reach tidewater, enabling cheaper coal to consumers.
