Abandonment of Rail Bridge Recommended
Interstate Commerce Commission Examiner William J. Gibbons recommended Milwaukee to abandon its rail bridge across the Mississippi between Prairie du Chien Wisconsin and Marquette Iowa. Local protests cite loss of the only direct mail link but the company cites more than 1 million needed to replace bridge sections and limited business justifies abandoning the link. The change would shift the western terminus of the Madison Wisconsin line to Prairie du Chien.
