THE WAUPACA REPUBLICAN

November 8, 1907

 

WHAT’S DOING ON W.G.B.R..

 

            The Waupaca Green Bay Railroad is progressing and the good weather is favorable to construction work. President Nelson sys track laying and surfacing is being pushed as fast as possible and with good weather and currency to pay off the men about $6,000 on the 15^th he thinks that thirty days will hear the engine tooting into the station at Waupaca.

            The gang of Bulgarians and others are busy filling another sink hole near the marl beds about a mile this side of the quarry.  It was feared at one time that this sink hole would be as treacherous as the one near Scandinavia but reports come in that its spacious maw appears to be nearly satisfied and that the filling in will soon fill it up.

            The narrow gauge track and dump cars are at the Wisconsin Central bank where the dirt will be hauled out and placed in the fills each side, and the pile bridge under the Central tracks will be strengthened and the crossing made in good condition for traffic by both roads.  The sidings in the yards and connecting road bed to the Central’s spur tracks are about finished.  The balance of the rock blasting will be through with this week. Work on the round house and transforming the old church body into combination passenger and freight depot will be started and  completed by the time needed.
