Trains Halted by Landslides Near Klossner Cause Delays
Rain soaked land slides in Pritsche's ravine between Klossner and New Ulm blocked the Minneapolis and St. Louis line for a night. Passengers walked through a downpour to New Ulm while crews cleared the track and by Monday morning service resumed with freight No. 64 arriving from the north. The slide, two feet deep and forty to fifty feet long, followed earlier caveins and tests the railroad's engineering response to seasonal slips.
