Right of way over St. Paul tracks in Wisconsin Secured
Madison, Wis., Dec. 9 - The Illinois Central has secured a contract for the right of way over the St. Paul railroad tracks from west Madison to the Watertown Junction, and will run trains through Madison, connecting Sun Prairie, Columbus, Beaver Dam, Fond du Lac, Oshkosh, and Green Bay on the north with the system south by an agreement with the Northwestern Road.
The Illinois Central will begin the construction of the Green Bay line early next spring, the line already surveyed and known as the Madison & Northwestern. An additional traffic arrangement will allow the trains to run to the state line on the north.
