Wakefield Station Ordered Modernized Within Days
The Chicago and Northwestern Railroad must install sanitary toilets electric lights and repaint the Wakefield station interior within 30 days and build a 35 foot by 1 foot access from Sunday Lake Street plus a curb walk for pedestrians, with a new roof and waiting-room floors due within six months. Officials say changes aim to improve service though a court challenge by the railroad remains possible. The move follows a state utilities commission inspection led by Holmes Hughes who criticized current conditions. The city seeks improved service including more trains to Ironwood and Hessemer, arguing Wakefield is a major revenue source for the system.
