New York State Bars Wooden Cars from Electric Boads 



The Public Service Commission of the state ot New York issued an order 

 recently prohibiting the use ot wooden cars for the transportation of passen- 

 gers on eleetrieally driven trains. The order went into effect September 15. 



The Long Island Railroad is more seriously affected by the order than any 

 other line, as it operates more electrically driven cars than any other road 

 in the state.

 island, and large amounts of southern yellow pine and considerable 

 quantities of other woods are sent from this side.
