One of the new railway carriages for the Main Trunk line was seen at Marton Junction recently (says the Wanganui Chronicle). The carriages have big, airy compartments, with : nice upholstered seats, and several conveniences not obtainable in the present carriages. The seats are made with a comfortable slant back, and are somewhat higher than the present ones, so that it is much more possible to sleep comfortably in them. The carriages are heated by radiators, and ihe top section of the windows •'-. pen outwards in such a way as to i send the air upwards. Altogether ; the carriages should make travelling | a much more pleasant necessity than j it is at present
