Remodeling Underway At B & 0 Station Baltimore and Ohio crews have been sent to Syracuse to do some “major remodeling” chores around the B & 0 passenger station here, it was reported this week. The work involves replace - ment of a tile roof which was installed when the building was first constructed in 1915. According to reports, the tile roof has deteriorated to the point that it can no longer be patched and must now be replaced. The leaky tile roof has caused the wood surface of the station's protective overhang to deteriorate also, and it is reported that this, too, will undergo extensive repairs. Also reportedly planned are a new coat of paint for the interior and the exterior wood trim, if the other repair work is completed before bad weather sets in. The B & 0 passenger station in- Syracuse is one of only eight

left along the railroad line across northern Indiana: there once were more than 30. With the exception of a station in Gary shared with the Penn Central system, it is- the largest. It serves as the travel focal point for a number of residents in Kosciusko. Elkhart, LaGrange, and Whitley counties, as all four B & 0 passenger trains stop here. To Continue Two Baltimore and Ohio passenger trains serving Syracuse, slated for discontinuance this month, will continue in operation until after January 1 under orders of the Interstate Commerce Commission. The Baltimore and Ohio in August had announced plans to drop westbound Train 7, the Diplomat. and east bound Train 10. The Gateway, effective September 11. from its schedules west of Akron, Ohio. East of Akron, the B & 0 said, it would reschedule the trains to provide better Akron-Pittsburgh-Washington service. A number of individuals and groups protested the discontinuance and the Interstate Commerce Commission ordered the trains retained for 120 days pending an investigation. Hear-

ings will be scheduled by an ICC examiner at locations to be announced soon. . The B & 0 said the Diplomat, a Washington to Chicago overnight train which stops here at p.m. and arrives in Chicago at 4:15 p.m. and the Gateway, which leaves Chicago at 10:15 a.m., arrives at Syracuse at 1:39 p.m., and terminates at Pittsburgh at mid-evening, cost more money to operate than the passenger and mail revenues they generate. Neither train offers the passenger services once available. The schedule of train 7 is considerably slower than some 10 or 15 years ago, and it arrives in Chicago too late for most midafternoon connecting trains to the West. Train 10 formerly was a through train to Washington but the part of the run east of Pittsburgh was dropped in 1968. Dining car facilities were dropped from both trains in late 1966, although snack bars are maintained in the coaches. Sleeping car service was dropped completely in 1968 after being experimentally dropped on portions of the runs a year before. Lounge car facilities for

sleeping car passengers were dropped in the late 1950’5. Train 7 once carried a through sleeping car to Los Angeles (dropped in the late 1950’5) and San Francisco (dropped in the early 195O’s> and a strata Dome car carried on the train was dropped in the early 1960’5. Persons protesting the discontinuance charge that the trains were downgraded by elimination of certain classes of service prior to a time that lack of patronage would dictate such downgrading. Also charged is that on-time performance of the trains is erratic, and parallel claims are made that railroad personnel cutbacks make it difficult, time-consuming and discouraging to secure information concerning the availability of train service because ticket offices are open only a few hours each week and personnel on duty often have many other tasks which are assigned higher priority by the railroad. Other towns in this area by trains 7 and 10 are Albion, train 10 only ino westbound service', Nappanee, and Bremen (also only by train 10'. The B & O in its original proposal said it would stop its Capitol Limited trains
