BURLINGTON COMPLETES ITS WENDOVER CUT-OFF The Burlington has completed work on | the Wendover cut-off and now freight trains are being run over the mew lino from Guernsey across to Wendover, in- stead of around by Hartville Junction. The Wendover cut-off, which has been in course of construction for more than a year, is on the Burlington's Casper | line about twenty-five miles over the Ne- | braska state line in Wyoming. It is elght and one-half miles in length and is a suc- cession of tunnels through the mountains. The cut-off is one of the units in the Omaha-Montana short line, that when completed will mean a water grade from the Rocky mountains to the Missouri river. It is not likely that through passenger service from Omaha will go onto the new line before next spring.

The city commissioners discussed the matter in executive session.
