Evening Republican, Volume 23, Number 307, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 24 December 1920 — MONON MAY BE TAKEN OVER BY SOUTHERN [ARTICLE]

MONON MAY BE TAKEN OVER BY SOUTHERN

There is a rumor afloat in the railway circles of the city that on the first of the new year the Southern, railroad will take over the Monon and absorb it in the vast system of railways that the Southern operates throughout the South. • If there is a foundation for the report and such a thing is done, it will mean much to Rennselaer, for many additional passenger trains each twenty-four hours will pass through the city. By acquiring the Monon, the Southern will have an entrance into Chicago and all through trains to the South, including New Orleans and Jacksonville and many

south Florida points will no doubt be started from that terminal. —The Invisible Guest —
