ILLINOIS CENTRAL MAY COME TO WATERTOWN TALK OF RUNNING OVER MILWAUKEE ROAD TRACK.
Rumor is That Track Will Be Used as Far as Junction-Extend Line to City Proper-Anxious to Ex
tend Road to Northern Wisconsin-Difficulty at Capital City.
The report comes from Madison that the Illinois Central railroad company has made an arrangement with the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul road by which the Illinois Central will run its trains from Madison to Watertown Junction. If the report is true, it is probably the intention of that road to build a new line from Watertown up into the northwestern part of the state. For years the Central has been trying to get through Madison, but owing to the peculiar location of the lakes there no successful move has been made to do so.
