The Conservator reports the Richmond belt line project is becoming real with work to start in Sornes. Plans completed and articles of incorporation filed with the secretary of state, followed by formal organization and commencement of construction. The route would run near the Santa Fe depot to encircle the town’s northern edge, unlocking a large coal field.
