Rumored Blackfoot extension of the Milwaukee line
Missoula March 6 Rumors spread in railroad circles that the Milwaukee railway will undertake this year a long contemplated extension of the Blackfoot branch. Officials have visited the valley repeatedly, with plans reportedly under consideration to push work soon. The line once surveyed to beyond Clearwater post office over 40 miles up the Blackfoot valley could link Garden City and the Electric City. Rails reached Douglas and then 17 miles up the Blackfoot from Bonnet, with timber riches seen as the ultimate motive for future construction.
