North Shore Plea for Abandonment Considered by ICC
The Interstate Commerce Commission weighed a request by Chicago North Shore and Milwaukee Railway to abandon its Chicago to Milwaukee commuter line. Attorney James J. Magner called the trial year ending June 1, 1961 disastrous as deficits reached 539000 with a 179000 cash loss despite a 23 percent fare rise. Illinois Commerce Commission opposed abandonment, arguing owners seek tax losses and suggesting a small revenue rise and cost cut could fix the line.
