A Transformation Scene
The Burlington headquarters here are
undergoing extensive changesthis week
following the completion of the new ad
dition to the north wing
Supt Eaton has moved into the new
north wing addition and his chief
clerk Matt Lawritson fell heir to the
superintendents old quarters in that
wing
The room formerly occupied by chief
Clerk Lawritson became the property of
the trainmasters clerk
The large room in the east end of the
building has been divided the north
half going to Trainmasters Weiden
hamer and Wilburn the south half to
Timekeeper J G Schobel and his as
sistant A P Ely
The telegraph office secures title to
the two rooms in the west end of the
building vacated by trainmasters and
timekeepers This isolates the telegraph
degartment from the railroad service
giving the telegraphers much enlarged
and greatly improved quarters
A part of the east end of the old tele
graph room will be partitioned off and
will become Chief Dispatcher Mills
private room
The lobby from which the trainmen
and employes transact business with the
dispatchers will be widened to double its
present dimension
These changes will materially improve
the conditions under which the head
quarters force do their increasing work

McCOOK NEBRASKA
A New West End Trainmaster
Railroad circles in McCook were much
surprised last Saturday when it be
came known that the west end was to
have a new trainmaster J F Kenydh
having re iupd that position
Sunday nunng the new trainmaster
assumed the duties of the position W
M Weidenhamer of Galusburg Illinois
being the man Mr Weidenhamer is
practically unknown on tun McCook
division but is not by any means new
in the Q service He is a brother of
Fred Weidenhamer of Omaha who suc
ceeded Supt C L Eaton as master of
transportation upon Mr Eatons eleva
tion to the McCook division superintend
ency
The new trainmaster isan experienced
railroad man and the manner in which
he took charge of affairs in his depart
ment augurs well for his success in the
arduous dutios of west end trainmaster
Mrs Weidenhamer accompanied him to
McCook Sunday but departed east
again on Monday night
Mr Kenyon has been in the Burling
ton service about 25 years and is re
garded by railroad men as an experi
enced efficient railroad man While he
has not as yet made public his future
plans it is hardly probable that one so
experienced and able can long remain
out of active railroad life in some ade
quate official position
