Brighton Cut-Off Opens Cutting Distance For Rock Island Line

Passenger service starts next Monday as the old line is abandoned, shortening routes by about seven miles and skipping Brighton and Pleasant Plain.

Local residents fear a boycott while the railroad adds a plank sidewalk to its new depot, inviting nearby trade.
