Railroading News and Industry Movements Across the West
A lengthy survey of railroad topics includes the death of Andrew Divine in Las Vegas from preamenta, strikes and fuel disputes at Mexican Central, and costal disputes over Alabama coal for railroad use. It notes Texas railroads forming a central association, plans for Terminal property purchases in Birmingham, leadership changes at Chicago Milwaukee and St. Paul, and surveys from Milton on a Flora Vista to Farmington line. It reports on Fort Worth meetings, a grand ball by the A T S F call boys, and a mobile service proposal for a Las Vegas to Bull Frog run. It covers depots at Farmington and the Denver baggage volume, earnings reports from Colorado & Southern and Pennsylvania lines, a Santa Fe oil drilling injunction ruling, a presidential train debate, Gulf line officers election, and expert freight-rate testimony in a western interstate case. The breadth portrays a railroad- and oil-focused West with major players, towns, and future construction and policy debates.
