Burlington Westward Rail Plan Could Sharpen Lincoln Ties
Rumors say Burlington plans a new westward line from Columbus through Albion Bartlett Garfield Loup Brown Cherry Sheridan and Dawes to Edgemont to shorten Lincoln to the northwest by over an hour. Chief Engineer Darrow has no official word, but Lincoln could gain wholesale Black Hills trade and a direct Seattle route through a cross country link. The project would tilt traffic away from the Northwestern and connect Billings Cheyenne Denver routes, benefiting Lincoln’s service to the west and northeast. A kitchen cleaning tip follows: scrub floors with soap and water, optionally perfumed with lavender or lilac.
