Cranberry Lake Notes

(excerpts)

Work will be commenced next week on the Y or turn table at the old stone quarry, so that the locomotives may be turned at the lake. The sidings are also being extended to accommodate a large number of passenger coaches.


The Lackawanna management are so well pleased with the business at the Lake, that they have a force of men at work this week extending the new station platform and shed three times it's original length. The train shed will be one of the largest on the M. & E. division, and will shelter 1,000 people from rain.

The story recently started that the Lackawanna people intended to abandon this resort was shown to an official the other day. He smiled, and replied that the work that was being done by the company at this resort and other improvements contemplated this fall, was a sufficient answer to these silly rumors.
