Change</strong><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> 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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'>------<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>[<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>]<o:p></o:p></p>
