HOOPPOLE RAILROAD IS UNDERGOING REPAIRS

 

A force of about forty men with boarding cars and full equipment started the job of making extensive repairs on the Hooppole railroad Monday morning in preparation for the delivery of the gravel and cement for the construction of Route 92 in Bureau County. The track will be placed in good condition with heavier rails in order to handle the heavy traffic expected. Deliveries of material will be made for a time at Love station.
