For some time the past winter the
Sunshine Special, southbound, stop
ped at the Ironton station to take a
pusher to help the train over Hogan
mountain. Some one conceived the
idea that this would be a mighty good
train for vallegians to make the trip
home from st. Louis and q request
was preferred at headquarters that
passengers for Ironton be permitted
to board the train at Union Station.
simultaneously with the presentation
of this petition the train ceased stop
ping at Ironton for a pusher, and now
when an additional engine is needed
the pusher is hooked on at Arcadia. II
is not intended to intimate that the
request that travellers to Ironton be
permitted to board the train had any
thing to do with the change in a stop
ping place to get the pusher. 1t just
happened that way.
