It was announced yesterday, at the
emcee ofthe Superintendent of the
New York Division of the New
York. New Haven and Hartford
railroad company, in the Grand Cen-
tral station at New York City, that
the construction of the new round
house and turntable in the Inca]
freight yards was for local’conven-
ience and that engines wofild not
be changed from steam to electric
in this city instead at Stamford, as ‘
was reported.
A The present turntable is much too
small for the present type of en-
gines that are in use (in the railroad
and many of them could not be
turned on the turntable but had to
be run to Stamford or some other
station to be turned aroend.‘
It is the desire of the railroad
officials to have a. new roundhouse
in this city, so that engines that are
not in usermay be kept indoors.
They will nlso be repaired at the
new roundhouse. '
