Rail disruption and speed war rumors affect Midwest lines
The main line remained open with no delay from the accident. A derailment near Sheridan delayed No. 42 for hours, No. 36 was run through to Seneca and connected with No. 40 to Lincoln, while conductor Halverstadt recovered after illness. Passenger business fell recently amid discussions of a Chicago to coast speed race and Hills’ bid to carry mail in sixty two hours, with Burlington planning route changes to cut through traffic and shorten No. 1 and 6 trips via Pacific Junction rather than Omaha. The outcome of the speed war remains uncertain.
