I really don’t remember if 2 to Carmel, where we had a beer at the Hog’s Breath owned by Clint Eastwood. The next day I was driven to the Salinas depot to catch the southbound Coast Star- light. There must have a problem with the F40’s since this train had two SP Geeps, an SD45 and SD45 tunnel mo- tor, on the point. We left on time, and proceeded south to LA. I took a picture near San Luis Obispo which I think was on the Cuesta Grade. Then near the Vandenberg Air Force base we were right by the Pacific Ocean, then through picturesque Santa Barbara and finally into one of the great stations, Los Angeles Union Passenger Termi- nal. I rented a car and drove to my hotel, as I had an old army friend that lived in LA and wanted visit him. After a couple of phone calls and driving around trying to find where he lived, I struck out.

Anspach MD Railroad news butchers, news butch or news agents were vendors who would walk down the aisles of the coaches on passenger trains with or without dining cars. They offered sandwiches, snacks, candy, magazines and newspapers. For the budget minded, they were an alter- native to eating in the dining car when there was a dining car or diner lounge available. In some cases they would get on trains at major terminals, sell and get off before departure. The profession probably goes back to the earliest days of passenger trains.

My recollection is the news butchers would get off in Bridgeport or some other intermediate stop and head back to New York. Occasion- ally one would get on at New Haven and ride northbound to Hartford. And I barely recollect spotting them loading their baskets either at an Armstrong or Union News com- pany shop in the station. Any other all-aboarders remember news butchers?

  • Transportation Last Updated 11/13/2020
    Chapter 5 – Transportation Last Updated 11/13/2020 A compilation of objectives, policies, goals, maps and programs to guide the future development of the various modes of transportation, including highways, transit, transportation systems for persons with disabilities, bicycles, electric personal assistive mobility devices, walking, railroads, air transportation, trucking and water transportation. The element shall compare the local governmental unit's objectives, policies, goals and programs to state and regional transportation plans. The element shall also identify highways within the local governmental unit by function and incorporate state, regional and other applicable transportation plans, including transportation corridor plans, county highway functional and jurisdictional studies, urban area and rural area transportation plans, airport master plans and rail plans that apply in the local governmental unit. Highway and Streets Network The City of Columbus has an extensive transportation network that is comprised of federal, state, county and local roads. The Wisconsin Department of Transportation classifies each road in the state under the Functional Classification System. Functional classification is the process by which highways are grouped into classes according to the character of service they are intended to provide, ranging from a high degree of travel mobility to land access functions. The City of Columbus is designated as an Urban Area for Functional Classification because the city has population greater than 5,000. The functional classification process of urban streets and highways organizes routes according to the character of service provided, ranging from travel mobility to land access. The functional class system also sub-classifies routes by facility type and by their rural relationship (connecting links of the rural functional class system).
