Park Falls Made Engine Terminal By Soo Railroad
PARK FALLS, Wis.--This city has been made an engine terminal by the Soo line railroad and the company's officials have given their approval to a large expenditure of money here. The most important piece of construction is the erection of a five-stall brick roundhouse, each stall of sufficient length to hold the longest type locomotive. An 80-car passing track to take care of business on the Ashland branch at Spencer is now being built there and upon its completion in a few weeks will relieve much traffic congestion.
