The Lewiston & Youngstown Frontier Railroad Company received Tuesday two of the six new electric motor cars ordered some time ago from the factory of the J. G. Brill Company of Philadelphia. They are open cars, about 22 feet long, with eight seats arranged cross- wise. They are painted a wine color handsomely finished. The company will operate four open cars during the summer and two closed cars during the winter season. Superintendent R. B. Goodman and Passenger Agent Karl Evaus are hustling matters and expect to have arrangements completed for placing the cars in service in a day or two. The formal opening of the road will take place later on. The entire track is laid to the terminus at Youngstown and the overhead system will be finished by Tuesday next, when a trial trip over the new road will be made.
