Ligonier Valley R.R. Improvements
The L.V.R.R. Co. is making preparations to put down new steel rails which are to be 85 lb rails and new ties to make preparations for the increase of business this coming summer. New side tracks are also to be placed at Idlewild for the accommodation of the large picnic trains which bring the immense crowds of people to this celebrated picnic resort.
The prospects for a large traffic on this road both as to picnic travel and from other sources was never better.
