Burlington Seeks Dalton Station Closure and Custodian
Burlington Railroad asks the State Railway Commission for permission to close the Dalton station between Alliance Nebraska and Brush Colorado and replace the agent with a custodian at about 300 dollars per year. The plan follows 1957 1958 and 1959 revenue and expense figures and seeks public convenience as justification. Interested parties may comment before August 11 1939 with a formal hearing to follow if needed.
