Wabash to Withdraw Two Trains Each Way Next Month
The Wabash will implement a new time card next month removing two through passenger trains per direction to cut costs. No. 16 eastbound and No. 15 westbound, both St. Louis-Pittsburgh routes, along with No. 28 eastbound and No. 19 westbound, will be dropped. Equipment for No. 28 may merge with No. 2 at St. Louis and No. 12 with No. 9 at Montpelier, Ohio, as run previously before the St. Louis exposition. Passenger demand is cited as insufficient to justify these trains.
