Snowbound Milwaukee to Great Falls Train Delayed and Abandoned
Last Saturday's Milwaukee to Great Falls service was stuck in snow between the cities and did not reach Great Falls until Sunday afternoon. By Monday no service ran, Tuesday saw abandonment to allow the railroad to send a rotary plow from below Harlowton to clear the track. The plow's location did not deter the administration from clearing the line above Great Falls, with trains not run until cleared. Thursday's service faced heavy delays and failed to deliver mail and express, as agents ended their shifts when the delayed train finally arrived amid public frustration. The note ends with a patriotic flourish praising the Wilson administration.
