WELLAND NEWS
[Welland Tribune, 4 March 1898]
The old Welland railway, now the Welland branch of the G. T. R., will see lively times. At least that part of it between Air Line Junction and Allanburg Junction will. It has already been announced that the Air Line Junction of the G. T. R. has been leased to the Wabash company, which will use that line instead of the Great Western branch of the G. T. R. the change came into effect on March 1st, and will include the passenger traffic later, when the road has been put into better shape. Sixteen Wabash freight trains started west from Detroit at midnight, Feb 28th. A portion of the freight will go direct to Buffalo via Air Line and International Bridge, but that connecting with the Lehigh road will leave the Air Line Junction at Welland Junction and go to the Falls via Welland and Allanburg loop line. It is expected the most of the passenger trains will also go this way, and thus via Niagara Falls.
The annual meeting of the patrons of the Welland cheese factory will be held in the factory on Monday, March 14th, at 1 o’clock sharp. A large attendance solicited.
