Needham Company Rail War Delays Washington Yard
A letter from Chish Pairsama of the Needham Company condemns the Lackawanna railroad for halting coal and lumber deliveries to Washington while plans to reroute tracks are discussed. The author argues the railroad misuses authority, blocks access to their property, and would harm local business, urging rejection of the proposed repositioning and urging preservation of Washington’s rail access. The piece notes opposition from Mr Maturfee Clemnens and references a public meeting on April 8.
