Santa Fe to Build Branch Lines Across Kansas
The Santa Fe plans new branches in Kansas to serve a rapidly growing agricultural district. A 35 mile branch from Holyrood to Galatia, Barton County, will be built by John K. Scott of Lubbock, Texas, forming the Barton County & Santa Fe railway with capital stock of 50000. A second route from Santa Fe through part of Haskell County to the Colorado line, about sixty miles, has been authorized awaiting surveys. Grant and Stanton counties currently lack railroad facilities, and officials expect progress within two years.
