Hearing on Milwaukee Road depot closure planned in Manhattan
A public hearing is scheduled June 24 in Manhattan on the Milwaukee Road proposal to close its depot and make Manhattan an on call station. The Montana Railroad Commission will hear testimony at 10 a.m. at the Manhattan depot. The railroad argues improvements in service and a decline in Manhattan business justify shifting on call service from Bozeman. Shippers could call Bozeman at Milwaukee expense for requested service. Manhattan’s agent has worked 40 hours weekly at about $6,500 yearly plus expenses.
