First Run For New Mail Train

Local news

A new 36-car, coast-to-coast mail train departed 10 minutes early as it passed westward through Council Bluffs Saturday night. The train was to leave here at 7:15 but pulled out at 7:05. The train stopped at the former mail terminal on South Twenty-first Street to take on the mail from western Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota and both Dakotas. The train is expected to cut down travel time for mail from 58 to 50 hours to the west coast and from 71 to 50 hours to the East Coast. It will stop in Council Bluffs at 6:15 p.m. each day and depart at 7:15 p.m.--Nonpareil Photo.
