Rail line service cuts blocked for Cedar Rapids Estherville
The Iowa Commerce Commission denied Rock Island Lines permission to cut freight service on the Cedar Rapids Estherville route. It authorized a reduction on the Estherville Larchwood segment while preserving current schedules on the rest of the line. Witnesses cited grain and livestock transport needs, and the commission noted 1959 and 1960 revenue figures without comparing to earlier years. The ruling left open the possibility to present new evidence on Saturday operations but denied reopening for additional data.
