Railroads Set North East Rates For Los Angeles Meeting
After a three day conference the transcontinental lines approved return fares of 25 dollars from Missouri River points to Los Angeles for the National Educational Association convention in July. Selling dates run June 26 to 28 with a return by September 4, extra charges apply for tickets routed via the Ogden gateway. The plan may shift if the fare is added to the ticket, potentially altering the Omaha to Los Angeles trip to about 40 dollars. Union Pacific begins Julesburg branch improvements with new rail and ballast work extending toward La Salle, using Sherman rails. Santa Fe plans Stockton service from July, with a single regular run to eastern points and future Point Richmond access. Horton shops ordered to build 34 foot boxcars and 25 additional palace stock cars.
