B & 0 Station Has Facelifting

Syracuse’s venerable Baltimore and Ohio passenger station, its appearance until a few weeks ago timeworn and abused, is looking now like a monied dowager en route home from a successful visit to an Elizabeth Arden salon. The station has undergone an extensive facelifting by B & 0 painters and carpenters from Garrett during the past month, with somewhat remarkable results. A tile roof which bad graced the building since it was built in 191516 has been removed and replaced by a modem, bright red asphalt shingle roof. The roof, lines of the graceful structure have been retained with the exception of a false cupola removed from the center of the south side of the building. - Railroad spokesmen blamed the deterioration of the former tile roof for a number of other problems. > Leaks which had developed and could not be stemmed had caused plaster to fall in the large waiting room and

the railroad office; both ceilings have been replastered and have received three coats) of fresh white paint. The overhang area of the roof outside the building had also deteriorated thanks to the crumbling tile , roof ; tongue-and-groove wood surfacing of the area had collapsed, to make gaping holes in the attic. In one case, enough soil had accumulated in stopped-up downspouting that the gutter on the northwest comer of the building had sprouted a full stalk of corn for at least the past 10 years. A railroad spokesman said new tongue-and-groove lumber was purchased especially to repair the overhang, the com has been harvested for the last time, and the birds have been evicted. The entire interior and exterior of the building sports a new paint job: bright B&O yellow and deep red on the exterior trim of the solid brick structure, and light blues and soft whites on the public areas inside.

The other two trains serving Syracuse are No. 10, the Chicago—Pittsburgh Gateway, leaving Chicago at 10:10 a.m. Chicago time and arriving here at 1:44 p.m., and No. /, the Washington-Chicago Diplomat, leaving Washington at 11:45 p.m. and Syracuse the next afternoon at 3:37 p.m. for a 5:40 p.m. Chicago arrival. The railroad is currently seeking to discontinue trains 7 and 10 and they are being operated until January 11 under an Interstate Commerce Commission order while the discontinuance petition is investigated. Office hours of the local B&O station will remain at 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. weekdays except holidays, Casey said. Leßoy Riddle of Syracuse is returning to Toledo, Ohio, to spend the winter.

While the repair crews were on hand, according to B & O Agent D. W. Casey, sticky doors and windows have been repaired, too, and a basement area cleaned up to provide storage space for maintenance and track crews. On the agenda, it is reported, are a new train bulletin board to describe passenger service available locally, and a general cleanup of the station interior after the working crews move on. New to the waiting room is a large map of the SyracuseWawasee area, showing north into Elkhart county, east past WaWasee, west past state road 15, and south to the Barbee chain. Casey said the donor of the map was former Journal editor W. W. (Bill) Spurgeon. “The map shows how Syracuse is the center of the lake area and an onlooker can see why the community has become the central trade and transportation hub of this part of the county,” Casey said. “It also shows the relationship of the railroad to the towns, highways and lakes.”
