(Malvern & Green Tree)

A ‘Y’ is to be made at once at Malvern, on the Penn’s railroad, and when completed the accommodation trains to Philadelphia, which now make Paoli the starting and stopping point, will be changed to Malvern, thus affording connections with all the trains on the West Chester road. This will be a convenience to hundreds, and will serve to bring Malvern into more prominence as a railroad centre.

The work of straightening the track at Green Tree is to be commenced in a few days, and in doing so the old hotel, now owned and kept by Ex-Sheriff Gill, will be sadly interfered with, perhaps totally demolished. It has long been one of the landmarks of middle Chester county.
