Rock Island Proposes Rail Schedule Change
Rock Island officials push a plan to modify the Decorah Cedar Rapids branch passenger service. Mixed trains would replace current southbound and northbound runs, with afternoon Decorah to Cedar Rapids service arriving about 9 30 and a late Cedar Rapids to Decorah run arriving in the early morning. The proposal aims to streamline freight but faces strong objections from travelers and local towns, especially in winter. A Community Club meeting was non-committal but favored sending a delegate to a joint council with state railway authorities and town representatives.
