People along the line from Winthror
to New Ulm will be delighted to know
that the M. & St. L. has given heed to
the request of the Commercial Club Of
this city and has arranged for Sunday
train service on their line from the
Cities to New Ulm. Agent Leary re-
ceived notice last week to the effect that
beginning with May Both the Sunday
train which has in former years been
run out to Morgan will be switched to
this line and will give New Ulmites and
others along the short way from Mime
apolis and St. Paul an opportunity to
use the line, both going and coming, on
Sundays.
The exact schedule has not yet been
arranged as the Railway Company is
awaiting information as to what the
sentiment of this community is .as ITO
the return time of the train. It will
leave st. Paul at 8:25 A. M. and Mime
apols at 900. This will bring It into
New Ulm about 1915 to 1925 and Mr..
Leary is of the opinion that about d
P. M. would suit the majority of those
who will make use of it. He has made
inquiries and will await replies to them
from the Transportation Committee of
the Conf Club as to what they think
OF this schedule before same is put into
effect.
Other changes of schedule are booked
for the M. & St. L. trains. In The
first place the numbering of the trains
will be changed SO that the odd-numbered
trains viii leave the cities and the even
numbered ones travel toward the cities.
Therefore the train which now goes
south at the noon hour and is known
as No. l26 will be numbered 1877 and
the one going north in the afternoon
will be known as No. 126 instead of its
present number, 127. The morning
train will be No. "a and the evening.
No. rs, which is exactly the opposite
OF the way they are numbered now.
The biggest change, however, is in
the time OF Nos. 126 and 127. The train
which now goes south shortly after
midday will be delayed until P. NJ.
and the one which ordinarily goes north
at 1:3S P. M. will 60 up at 1896. This.
arrangement is made with a view to
making better connections at Winthrop
for the three trains which meet there in
the early afternoon. Any one going
from here North on the 1905 will be
able to change to the train going to
WATERFOWL or keep on to the cities.
People coming from WATERFOWL can
make connections either for New Ulm
or the Cities and city folks can get
immediate service thru to either Water
town or New Ulm.
The M. & St. L. is contemplating the
purchase of steel car equipment as
rapidly as possible and has practically
arranged for full vestibuled train for
the morning and evening service to and
from New Ulm.
At Searles just now there is a very
busy lot of railroad workers who are
rebuilding the high bridge over the
Little Cottonwood at the Fesenmaier
farm. There are two crews employed
and every day sees an enormous amount
of food material shipped out from New
Ulm to feed the forty hungry men who
are on the job. The bridge is so high,
between 86 and 81 feet, that it is neces-
sary to use both ground driver andsa
track driver. The rebuilding is for the
purpose Of strengthening the bridge for
heavier traffic and the job will take eight
weeks or longer and will cost between
ten and twelve thousand dollars. The
work was begun last Wednesday
