Wabash subsidy defeat shakes Fort Wayne rail plan
The special election in Wayne township rejected a $100,000 subsidy for a Fort Wayne and Butler railroad link, with 4,505 voting no and 1,565 yes out of 6,070. Officials say the result, though crushing, won’t stop the project, and the Wabash aims to build a line via a route that avoids Cedar Creek, shortening the branch by about seven miles.
