Time card change eyed by Daily Journal and Union Pacific
The Daily Journal reports a new time card ready to take effect on short notice. The Union Pacific opposes, arguing the mail train isn’t permanent and one of two trains would fail to pay. Central men allege a flaw in the system, noting Oregon passengers ride that train while Utah Northern serves transfers. The plan would shift crews across Reno Sacramento and Winnemucca routes, with opposition from ticket offices over printing new tickets. Darrah vows to avoid another Truckee winter while engineers seek Reno service but Fillmore resists due to extra watchman needs.
