Southern Indiana to BE Extended.


The proposed line runs from Elnora to
Sullivan through Marco and Pleasantville.
The line runs a little north of PleasantvilIe.
near which place it turns to a northerly
direction and comes to Busseron near the
]. & l. S. water tank. 1t seems that the l.
& 1. S. right of way may be utilized into
Sullivan from the water tank There is
much speculation as to where the final
terminus of this proposed road may be. 1t
Is Well known that the southern Indiana
is owned by Chicago parties, and there is
reason to believe that eventually another
line into Chicago will be built. Then again
there is reason to believe that the Southern
Indiana may be DESTROYS of making traffic
arrangement with the /. q /. S. and the
Illinois Central and getting into Chicago
that way There are some who believe the
Illinois Central is back of the proposed en-
terprise. The Southern Indiana has a line
TO Seymour and two hundred miles of road
or less would give the Central direct line
from Chicago to Louisville. According to
the press of Linton the extension OF the line
as contemplated viii not touch at Sullivan,
but will be built directly across from Ell
nora through Rushrod and Linton and into
Terre Haute. The Linton Call says: 1.-THE
extension of the Southern Indiana Railroad
from EInora to Linton is q foregone con-
clusion. The only question now is where
will the line be located"
