Kell asserts new Rock Island line would boost North Plains growth
Wichita Falls mill owner Frank Kell testifies before Interstate Commerce Commission examiner Mattlingly that a Rock Island railroad from Amarillo to Liberal would double capacity at the Great West Mill and Elevator and spur grain production.
