Northwestern railroad plan shifts track to aid Speer and Camp Grove
The Chillicothe Enquirer reports a potential Northwestern rail line change to bypass heavy grades by moving the track several miles west. The new route would cross the Santa Fe a mile east of Princeville, with Peoria to Springfield improvements boosting a Peoria to Nelson corridor into a St. Paul to St. Louis through line. The congested single track handles coal traffic and a second track is seen as needed.
