Railroad rumor hints two routes to Council Bluffs via Hamburg and Hastings
A Sidney branch Burlington rumor claims a two year plan to extend from Sidney to Hamburg and build a direct Hastings to Council Bluffs line through the hills. It would provide two routes to the Bluffs, offering resilience if the Missouri bottom cannot handle traffic. The bottom route has long been questioned, and the new plan has been under consideration for years. Also note: Des Moines Daily News raises annual rates after December 1 1907, outlines renewal offers and free Omaha Farm Magazine, plus local ads about rent, groceries, and wood supply.
