About 500 mi. of this decrepit carrier will be junked, the rest parceled out among eight adjacent systems. Though details were still secret, Illinois Central will apparently be the chief gainer, acquiring a direct entrance over its own rails into Minneapolis. Mr. Jones will provide the big carriers with a total of $7,200,000 to buy the individual pieces...
