Evening Republican, Volume 17, Number 150, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 24 June 1913 — Monon Also Adopted Plan of Naming Cars After Towns. [ARTICLE]

Monon Also Adopted Plan of Naming Cars After Towns.

The Republican recently printed an article saying that the Pennsylvania railroad had named cars atter towus on its -route, such as "Kentland 1 ' and “Goodland.” We did not know at the time that the Monon route did this some time ago and that cars have been named “West Baden,” "Delphi,” “Tippecanoe,” and “Lafayette." So far as we are able to learn no car has been named after “Rensselaer,” and it Is probable that none have been manufactured fine enough for this name, but that it will be used Whenever an especially fine car is purchased.
