time railway facilities have been confined
to horsepower line running from the
city proper to Fox Lake Junction, where

through Fox Lake proper. This is to be
accomplished by putting in Y at the
junction and loop track through the

ago. The necessary changes in the track
are now being made, new rail laid, etc.,
and the new road, about one and one

operation about September l. Fox Lake

over the defense, has abandoned Cleveland
