Monon To Take Off Two Passenger Trains

Announcement has been made that two Monon passenger trains are to be taken out of service temporarily. However, neither of these two trains pass through Rensselaer. One of the trains is a southbound train out of Lafayette and the other comes only as far north as Monon. This condition, according to President Kurrie, has been brought about by the vast amount of business, coupled with the cold weather that makes heavy demands upon the transporation facilities of the road. Primarily the plan is expected to help the freight situation. Mr. Kurrie says he realizes the value of these trains to Lafayette and residents of other towns along . the route and they are not abandoned because they are not making money.
