Dead Iron Horse Revisited in Southern Jones County
A letter in The Gazette criticizes Morley Transportation Co. for seeking to revive the abandoned Marion to Olin railroad right of way. The track has been torn up east of Marion, with weeds reclaiming the line. The plan would end at Olin unless a large mine opens at that site, making the railroad feasible only as a grain carrier. The author notes greater grain movement along lines west of Hiawatha and cites a similar abandoned Iowa line where a right of way was purchased and dismantling proceeds. The Mississippi River bridge involved is also being dismantled by the Corps of Engineers, rendering new construction in Jones County impractical. The writer laments wasted time and money on the subject.
