Rock Island Will Not Extend from Liberal Kansas
General Superintendent A J Hitt of the Rock Island was in the city en route to Fort Worth Texas to inspect western lines. He said the main 2024 construction will be to continue elevating tracks in Chicago as far as Thirty ninth Street and possibly beyond this spring and summer. Plans with the US government cover remodeling the Davenport Mississippi bridge. He denied plans for a southern extension from Liberal and noted rail prosperity hinges on grain markets.
