40o Yanks on 0n Wrong Trains

WASHINGTON. Dec. I -—(CP) —'1‘vvo trains pulled out of the Union Station during the holiday travel rush, each carrying about 200 passengers haPiJy at finding places on the crowded cars,

Their joy was short-llved-they all were on the wrong train

By error 200 passengers who thought they were boarding a through train for the Carollnas, Georgia and Florida had boarded a local; those who wanted the local were aboard the fast train.

Both trains halted at Fredcricics- burg, Va., and unloaded, but those aboard the local missed the fast train and many of those on the fast train already had been carried past. their stations.

The stranded groups, unable to squeeze onto following trams, finally were accommodated on extra cars the railroad rounded up for them.
