Eight Dollar Fare To Chicago From St Paul Due Under New Law
The Omaha road plans an eight dollar fare to Chicago from St Paul via the Winona line through La Crosse, effective August 16 pending Interstate Commerce Commission permission. The move follows Wisconsin's new two cent per mile rate law, but the flat eight dollar fare is expected to prevail. Tickets will be sold only within Wisconsin stations until interline rates are finalized. Competing lines are anticipated to match the reduction.
