A SENTINEL CORRESPONDENT TAKES A JAUNT ON THE NEW LINE. Good -Passing Drifton, Highland and Sandy Run- -Over the Jersey Central -Incl. dents in Connection with the Trip. Every new thing is a noveltry and it takes some time to get used to it. This particularly noticeable concerning our new railroad enterprises, for they are in'terprises, and of a substantial kind, too. Nearly sixty trains run into our depot daily now and those thoroughly familiar with the trains as they were on the schedule month ago, find themselves at a 1088 when about to board a train now. The need of a crier to announce the departure and destination of all trains is apparent. The list of needs, it is true, with a new depot to head it, might be increased almost indefinitely, but it must be acknowledged that the Lehigh Valley Company is very observant to the needs of the public generally. We thought of this yesterday when boarding a train for White Haven via the newly opened Highland branch. The excellent condition of the track and road bed was noticed while steaming through the yard below the shops. Now signal boards have been placed all along the line. At the Lumber Yard the first part of new road in the shape of a twelve degree curve connecting the "Y" is passed over, Switchmen are placed at both ends of the connection and no time is lost in passing over at. AROUND THE BEND. Between the Lumber Yard and Hazle Brook we pass through another yard of stand tracks at 8 good rate of speed. Workmen were still engaged at the ap• proach to the tunnel widening the cat which will soon be finished. The double track is continued through the tunnel by laying one rail within the other track and rune as far as Pink Ash Junction. Neat blue and gilt boards have been placed on the stations bearing their names. Speed was impossible between Jeddo and Drifton on account of the curves and rock cut, the rock is being blasted, however, and the road will soon be straightened. A little beyond Drifton we leave the line of passenger travel heretofore and roll rapidly over a straight stretch of a mile long toward Highland breaker. This breaker is passed on the right and the town of Highland reached in a few mirates. These people have never had a passenger station nearer than Freeland or Sandy Run and they are not slow to take advantage of the facilities now offered. The road runs north of town outside of the crop of the coal veins and no danger is to be apprehended therefore from caying in. The ruins of the little village of the Hungarians who worked on this road for Contractor Church 18 passed, the rude ovens have fallen in and the ground burnt over. NEARING SANDY RUN. The brakeman soon calls out "Sandy Run" and this pretty little mining village gives its quota of passengers. A view of mountain scenery is obtained from. the right car windows just after leaving Sandy Run. A small house on the horizon reflects the sun's rays like a beacon light and is about the only thing that breaks the broad expanse of leafy tree tops. The road soon crosses the mountain with an abrupt turn to the left and the train slows up for Sandy Run Junction, where the Lehigh Valley tracks end and the train runs on those of the Central Railroad of New Jersey. The grade now descends at about one hundred feet to the mile. Green fields lie on either side of the road. Leaving Fond Creek Junction, Sandy Valley appears below us and the rails skirt about the mountain side, descending with a pretty stiff grade. The beauty of Sandy Valley, if it has any, lies in its uncultivated state. The fields are small and the houses smaller. However, as we roll down the mountain the valley broadens and larger farms appear. Soon we catch glimpses of White Haven through the trees which line the road. These are broken by a sudden turn to the left caused by a break, as it were, in the mountains. DOWN THE MOUNTAIN. The spur 18 rounded and the valley crossed over upon a trestle 147 féet high and on a twelve degree curve. When we again emerge White Haven is almost before our eyes. The scenery is most pictaresque; on the right the steep, imposing mountain almost over the road, and on the left a stony creek running abreast, beyond broad green fields stretched on rolling hills, and still beyond the mountains again and stretched at their feet the town of White Hayen. This view is cut off an intervening hill at Crellin Junction where a small branch connects the Jersey Central with the Lehigh Valley. The view now is from the other side. The Lehigh river is seen, a watery expanse spread between the mountairs, its plane broken here and there b by stone abutments abandoned dams. The town itself now calls for attention and the depot for halt. The ride has taken just one hour and the distance is about twenty miles. The Excursion a Failure.
