<DIV align=left> </DIV>
<DIV align=left> Commencing March 6th the Pullman car which
now runs between Gary and Philadelphia will run between Gary and Jersey
City. The Pullman from Roanoke will be discontinued to Jersey City and the
Gary Car will do the work. For a number of years every man from this
section who has visited the union station in Philadelphia has smiled and thought
of home when he saw a sign at the station saying, "This car for Gary, W.
Va." They can now be at home in Jersey City as they will be greeted by a
sign across the river from New York which will say in large type, "This car for
Gary, W. Va." Locally the car will have to be called the New York special,
as the people in this section will feel that they are not being treated right
unless they feel that all the world knows that a car runs direct from Gary and
this city to New York.</DIV>

<DIV align=left>[<EM>There are two thing puzzling about this report. One,
the June 1915 Official Guide shows the New York connections then were over
the PRR into Pennsylvania Station in Manhattan--not Jersey City.
Could B&O trains have been used to Jersey City in 1910? Two, this same
1915 guide shows Trains 1 and 2 on the Shenandoah Valley route handling a
Pullman between Winston-Salem and New York and a Pullman between Gary and
Philadelphia. If the latter were shifted to Jersey City in 1910, it
apparently was shifted back to Philadelphia by 1915.</EM>]</DIV>
