Rail line from Rio Grande City to Miranda City shown as key to Laredo growth
The article argues the Rio Grande City to Miranda City railroad will unlock virgin agricultural land in Starr Hidalgo and Zapata counties, linking Laredo with a rich alluvial region and spurring new townsites and development. It contrasts this with a southern line toward Laredo, noting both projects attract interest but the Rio Grande corridor appears farther along.
