Milwaukee Plan to Rebuild 90 Mile Milwaukee Line
The Milwaukee road will rebuild 90 miles from Manila to Sioux City to cut grades and remove curves. New 1000-pound rails will cost about 3 million dollars, with nine miles completed. The project aims to place Sioux City on a transcontinental route and divert freight to the Pacific, while adding a premium passenger service via new Coast trains. Local service to Canton and Mitchell will also improve, part of broader growth under new management.
