Several Alterations Made in the Schedule
on the Local Division.
From the Hazleton Plain Speaker.
Beginning on Monday next the following
changes will take place on the local
division of the Lehigh Valley Railroad:
Train No. 384 now leaving Hazleton
for Freeland at 12.27 p. m. will be discontinued between Hazleton and Lumber
Yard, from which point there will, however, connections be made to Freeland.
Train No. 204 now leaving for Freeland
and Wilkesbarre at 4.45 p. m. will leave
at 4.50 p. m. This will be the last train
running from Hazleton to Freeland.
The silk mill train will arrive at Freeland at 6.46 p. m. This will be the last
train from Philadelphia, New York and
eastern points, to the North Side, as train
No. 29 with the chair car attached will
have no connections at Lumber Yard.
The 8.15 p. m. train will not go through
Stockton nor make any Freeland connections, but will instead leave at 8.05 p. m.
for Mauch Chunk to make eastern and
western connections and will run via
Audenried, Beaver Meadow and Weatherly to Mauch Chunk and return to
Hazleton as at present, arriving here at
10.25 p. m.
The 10 p. m. train to Stockton and
Lumber Yard will be discontinued, also
the 10.30 p. m. train to the South Side.
No freight crews will, according to the
present schedule, be allowed to run passenger trains.
The local passenger crews will by this
new change have better hours and more
satisfactory runs than they have had for
years.
The company could give the people
of Hazle Brook, Eckley and the North
Side better connections at the Lumber
Yard with train 13 for Hazleton by leaving 10 minutes earlier from Freeland
with the train that now makes connection at Lumber Yard with east bound
train 20.
