Spur to Compress Start on Mo Pac Line
A spur from the Missouri Pacific main line was started to connect with the Federal Compress building west of SineStum. The 60000 foot east west spur runs through two Girt roads to reach the new brick compress, with work including concrete pours, valve sheds, and a 190000 gallon water tank. Portageville’s Paul McDaniel and Tupelo’s Kelton Francis serve as clerks, with Coppedge leading the project from Jackson, Tennessee. The plant aims to be completed within a week or two, with additional installations ongoing as noted in The Herald.
