Burlington issues wall map of western United States
The Chicago Burlington and Quincy Railroad releases a new wall map covering the country west of Chicago to the Gulf, showing railroads in color and marking proposed lines in Wyoming. Burlington seeks reorganizing the Colorado and Southern into its system, with Hill ownership affecting northwest routes and tonnage moves via Alliance, Brush, Denver and the C S south of Denver. The result is a decline in dead freight as traffic shifts away from Burlington's northwest line.
