Rock Island Railroad Cuts Payroll by Twenty Percent
Rock Island officials announced February 1 that about 20 percent of the district’s operating force was laid off temporarily due to poor business. Several thousand may be affected as the road aims to cut payroll without wage reductions. Discharges include roughly 300 at Valley Junction and 55 at Estherville, with reemployment planned when conditions improve. Freight and passenger traffic have fallen amid financial stringency and higher rates.
