BIC FOUR R. R. IS
PLANNING SOME
DECIDED CHANGES
Has Practically Decided to Rur All
Main Line Passenger Trains
Through Vineennes.

THE Big Four is going to make
some kind of change" says the
Vincennes Commercial. "At present
the read is running twelve pacsen-
ger trains to and from St Francis
vile. This plan hac been regarded
as more or less needless.
"One plan that is under considera-
tion is that of running all the Big
-Four trains through Vincennes and
making Vincennes a main line eta
tion for passenger service, north and
south. To do this the Big Four
would make a traffic arrangement
with the B. & @. S. w, and use the
ten miles of that ccmpany's track
between here and Lawrenceyille
and abandon the running of paseen-
ger trains between LawrencevillC
and St. Francisville That would
cut out Billet, ILL.,, only, and save
practically double service and re-
duce operating expenses.
"Full trains from Cairo to Dan.
Vile would stop at st. Francisville
thence to Vincennes over tht
branch, thence to LowrcncevillC
over the G. &: 0. S. w. tracks, and
on north over its own line. South.
bound trains the same.
"The piece of track between Law.
renceville and st. Francisyille would
not be abandoned for its ten mile
stretch, but would be used fol-
freight service only, and ample ser.
vice would be given.
"a high official has stated thai
this plan has been practically set,
tied upon, except that all agreement
with the B & O s. w for the use
of its track, has not been made.
"This plan would place Vincennef
properly on the main line of the
Cairo division and undoubtedly ado
largely to the Zig Four's business
