has been building for THE past two sea
lsons will coon be in operation. The Belle
Plaine Union says:
& "A new time card for the 1. &: M. d.
vision will be issued possibly week
from Sunday, but at all events by the
Sunday following, August 70. and then
Will begin thru freight and passenger
9service over the new line and the grain;
and stock from the northern part Of this
state and southern Minnesota and the
3Dakotas will pour down this way. The
passenger service will consist OF two
trains daily between here and Mason
City and one each way daily north Of
Mason City north to Sanborn.
The routine OF the runs on passenger
a. now planned isl as follows: Run from
here to Sanborn, about $40 nlileR, the
first day, return tthe second, lay over
here the third day and make q round
trip to Mason City and back on the
fourth. This service will require four
crews alone, and 1t 10 easily seen from
their lay-overe that their homes must
be In this city. Such service 1t is
thought will be q liberal allowance for
time, but 1t Is not beyond ths expec-
tations of The officials that third pas
seenger train Will be needed shortly.
The thru train to Sanborn will prob
ably leave here after midnight, taking
a sleeper of from No. or No. II, and
returning get in here in the night and
turn over q sleeper for Chicago, The
other train will leave after the fast mail
in the morning and return in time for
No. 8 in the evening. This will give
Mason City and other towns on the line
an exceptional service to and from
Chicago, as they will make close con-
nections at this point with the thru fast
trains.
There remains yet some fifteen or
twenty miles of track to gravel and II
will then be At for service. This will
be ready within two weeks at the very
latest and perhaps sooner. Work on
the depots and other station buildings,
setock yards. etc, will continue all gum
mer.
The new depot ct Mason City is fast
nearing completion. a part Of the roof
being on already. This building will be
very similar to the one here. Supt.
Braden will have his Office on the sec.
ond floor and the dispatching force for
the division also. The roadmaster. Mr..
Naurer. will also make his headquarters
In Mason City. The freight depot is
we'll along towards completion. This
sis q one story building OF brick situated
well into the center OF the wholesale
district.
A freight division ID to be established
At Mason City and the freight crews
for the north end will make their home
there. the crews running from here to
Mason City making their homes N this
town. The exact number OF crews
which will be used in the freight SER
1 vice has not been accurately deter
mined. but with the work trains along
the line this summer the single track
will be kept warm without doubt.
The assignment OF crews to their
runs will not be made until the new
card ID ready for use. Belle PLANE men
will continue to run on the south
branch and the runs there viii be
changed but slightly. On the north
end our men will get some OF the good
runs. but number of the older men
from the w. & st. p. division will be
able to capture the best of them, like
~. Ten new men who will work on the
new line coming from the north end
have been ordered here with their fam
lilies and others will follow later, tho
what will become of them is mystery
to most people. as there is not vacant
house In town and some which will be
vacated during the summer and fall
have beenSspoken for and taken of the
market weeks and months in advance.
To provide yard room in which Ia
handle the freight trains coming from
the north and make them up into
1 trains for the main line and for the
outbound freight additional tracks
will be put in at the south yard. a
large part OF the company's land which
has been lying vacant viii be- used for
: this purpose and the capacity OF the
4 yards will be largely increased. II Is
i said the company will expend $4,000
here in eniarging the yards.
II any one has any doubts as tc
what benent the new road is going "a
be toBelle PLANE he may as we'll rid
his mind Of them at once. for II is well
settled In the minds OF the company
that Belle Plaine Is to be one OF the
1 busiest points on their line.
