Last week a work crew
installing a new manhole on Chicago Street struck a piece of the
past.
Chicago Street was the location
of the old electric railroad that ran through the city and north to
Union. While many know about it, not many are left who have
seen or remember it. The crew found the rails and ties when
they were digging.
In November last year, the
Logan County Historical & Genealogical Society hosted a talk on
the old railroad with guest speaker Dale Jenkins. Rick Naugle also
provided photos of the line to LDN, all of which were published in
December. To see that article and the photos, visit the
Dec. 5 issue by
