Midland Branch Line Service Is Restored
Regular train service on the Midland branch of the North Western railroad between Clinton and Anamosa is resumed after 27 months. Flood damage in June 1944 halted repairs, and a failed effort to abandon Maquoketa to Anamosa led to a lengthy lawsuit. Repairs finished two months ago, with the first train into Onslow this week. Onslow, a stock feeding center, had relied on truck shipments or Milwaukee line transport from Center Junction during the outage.
