Citizens Want Cement Train in Washington Area
A citizens committee met in Town Hall to push a morning train service between Washington and the cement works at Newville. They seek a seven o'clock arrival for workers, arguing current Lackawanna schedules force many to relocate. A plan involves pressuring General Manager Clarke after efforts with General Passenger Agent Lea failed. If secured, the train could boost housing demand and local commerce.
