The following news item described a new street railway to be built from Reiner City, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, and Lykens, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, with possible extension to Elizabethville and Millersburg.
New Electric Line
A charter was issued on Tuesday by the state department to the Williams’ Valley Street Railway Company, capitalized at $100,000, to build an electric line between Reiner City, Schuylkill County, and Lykens, a distance of twelve miles. President, Philip Portner, Girardville. Directors: Charles W. Barnhard; Moses Mervine; George C. Kachel; Peter Cress; Thomas Mervine, Girardville. William A. Marr; Joseph Mervine, Ashland. There is a possibility that if this road is built, it may at some time be extended via Elizabethville, to Millersburg. Let us hope this may prove true.
