Connecting links between Pennsy and New York Central tracks are being rushed at Toledo, Grand Rapids, Cincinnati, Terre Haute, Chicago, Buffalo and Detroit. Freight yards at Cleveland and Indianapolis will be modernized, and an entire new yard-to be named after Perlman-is being built at Albany. The basic...
