Services On P. W. & S. Are Discontinued
Both passenger and freight services will be discontinued on the P. W. & S. railroad from Ligonier to Somerset. Orders were issued stating that on and after September 23rd, all passenger and freight services will be discontinued and as that will soon be here the time for using that line will soon expire. The reason for the suspension of the service on the road has not been stated. The closing down of the passenger service will be considerable disadvantage to people who have been accustomed to travel this road and they will have to seek another route either by auto from Ligonier or via Johnstown which is far from convenient. We hope to see the service resumed in the near future.
