Improvements At Burlington Station Will Now Be Asked By Chamber
The Burlington station may gain better passenger comfort as the Chamber of Commerce plans to ask Director General McAdoo to provide train sheds and improved platform facilities. Manager Pierson says complaints will be considered, a matron for women’s seating room may be proposed, and station cleanliness is being maintained. The Chamber urged citizens to file service complaints, while praising recent Wabash station renovations and urging timely Wabash trains to ease Quincy’s transit issues.
