Greenwood Branch Extension Promised This Summer
The Wisconsin Central plans to extend the Greenwood branch to Bateman, with work to start before July and the full line through before show flies again if weather cooperates. The extension would boost Macshield railroad service and prosperity by shortening the route and potentially reassigning divisions. Lincoln Park and Balr ville prepare for summer, with improvements, a band, and new comforts. Wheelmen of Wausau announce a 17 mile road race on Decoration Day with prizes for winners.
