Railroads seek truck haulage to Rochester and Red Wing
The Chicago Great Western asks the state commission to abandon freight trains to Rochester in favor of trucking between Rochester Red Wing Zumbrota and the Twin Cities. A contract with St Paul Terminal Warehouse Co. would handle all freight on a per mile tariff basis. Trials over 90 days showed speedups by trucks for less than carload shipments, with no projected loss of existing rail trains. A public hearing is set for March 4 at the state railroad and warehouse commission in St Paul. Also a local note laments speeding on Main Street and requests reinstating former high cross- ings for safety during mud.
