Two Pay Days for Southern Indiana Railroads
February pay days set for Southern Indiana railroad workers with checks for December due February 11 and January due February 22. Chicago Southern ships Indiana corn to Chicago as freight car shortages strain the industry. Railroads report 320,000 idle freight cars and about 8,600 idle locomotives, totaling $440 million tied up in unused rolling stock.
