New Hearing Set For Abandoned Conde Alaska Line
A fresh hearing will be held next Monday at 2 PM in Pierre as Dakota Transfer Company of Cresbard seeks state highway commission permission to haul 60,000 pound loads on highway 20 paralleling the abandoned Conde Alaska rail route. The firm aims to secure inter state operation between Conde Alaska and the Twin Cities after a western railroads group rejected a joint rate request with Minneapolis and St. Louis Railroad. The change follows the 30,000 pound semi truck and 24,000 pound single unit limits, with the firm awaiting a state permit to operate along the old line. Tracks formerly ran from Alaska east through Lowry Haven Tolstoy Onaka Norbeck Wecota Cresbard Chelsea Northville Mellette Brentford Conde in several counties.
