A Waterloo gathering praised the Cass company and its president T S Cass for advancing an electric line to replace the old Anamosa Chicago and Northern steam railroad. Optimism grew that the route would boost commerce, farming markets, and travel to Waterloo, with land values cited near San Porte City. A special Cedar Valley train brought visitors, who heard Mayor Law and others discuss regional benefits and the project’s potential impact on industry.
