Bruce Fights to Preserve Rail Line in Southern Illinois
State Senator Terry L. Bruce Dixon, D Olney, urged an Interstate Commerce Commission hearing to deny Baltimore & Ohio Railroad abandonment of 73 miles from Flora in Clay County to Shawneetown on the Ohio. He warned loss of rail service would hinder existing industry and potential growth, noting 13 grain elevators rely on the line and coal expansion depends on continued rail access. A group of local farmers, business leaders, and grain dealers oppose the move, while B&O cites $2.5 million repair costs and declining freight revenue as reasons to abandon the stretch.
