Thursday the Northwestern put on a line of shuttle trains between the Broadway depot in Council Bluffs and the Union Station, Oma ha. During the entire day these trains handled 84 passengers. The service has been ordered discontin ued. Late Thursday Union Pacific shut tle train service between Omaha and South Omaha was started. It pro vided for hourly service during the morning and evening, with a train every two hours during the Tniddle of the day. It was not a winner, the eight trains carrying less than 200 people during the day and evening. Friday trains started out on the hourly schedule, but carrying only few passengers.
