Brookfield to Unionville Passenger Service Debate
Historical notes describe a Browning area discussion on adding passenger trains to run from Brookfield to Unionville via the C B and Q line. Supt Hamm supported the idea but officials at the Plington System initially rejected it, then later allowed limited passenger service for Browning to Unionville, with local praise for Hamm and calls to safety and vigilance. The excerpt also includes varied local notices on repairs, sales, and community events through 1925.
