Farmers balk at cash bid to reopen Anamosa line
In Cedar Rapids on Feb 20 a meeting of 46 to 50 local farmers and businessmen discussed Hermon Sonkem’s proposal to pay $250,000 for the Anamosa road and have it operated by Chicago and Northwestern, Illinois Central, or Milwaukee. They formed a committee to consider the plan, but most did not commit. Sonkem claimed $144,600 could be obtained by junking the line, arguing the ask was excessive given the road’s past sale price of $56,000 to the receiver and about $86,000 with unpaid interest.
