River locks plan called boondoggle at Rotary talk
Ken Swanson of the Chicago and North Western spoke at the Oelwein Rotary about Lock 26 on the Mississippi near Alton. He argued the Army Corps of Engineers program favors barges over railroads, citing $52 million repair versus billions for full replacement, potential tax disparities, and heavy economic impact on rail traffic and local funding. He noted legislators’ mixed signals, with senators reportedly against the project. The talk was organized by Lou Mulder. Harry Wardell attended as honorary member ahead of a Minnesota cottage vacation.
