Richmond, Ind., Oct. 25 - Close on the heels of the announcement from Milwaukee that the Cincinnati, Richmond and Muncie Railroad, the new Cincinnati-Chicago short line, is to gain access to that city by a traffic agreement with the Pere Marquette system which will run a car ferry between Milwaukee and Lacrosse, Ind., comes the added information that Cincinnati is not to be the southern terminal. Instead the present indications point to a connection with the Cincinnati Southern Railroad, thus making a direct line from Milwaukee to New Orleans. The report is confirmed by an official of the new road who says it is substantially correct.
The construction of a "Y" is all that is necessary to connect the two systems. There is no formal agreement as yet but the feeling between the companies is of the most cordial nature.
Henry C Starr of this city, general counsel for the new road, did not confirm the report but said the company has an important deal on.
Some miscellaneous railroad history tidbits around Burlington, WI and the surrounding area.
