Burlington plans shift cut off Hastings to Council Bluffs
Hastings residents hear of a Burlington route revision that could shorten the line to Council Bluffs, with a double track to Hastings and a potential bridge south of the Union Pacific. Rail officials discuss a new Platte River bridge and Plattsmouth realignments to cut mileage, while Hastings eyes boosted status as a division point amid bridge rumors. Emerson Chronicle reports talk of a local saloon vote, outcome uncertain.
