Ranchers Resist Rail Line Amid Gains County Prospects
In Gains County, the Williams brothers and Andy Silliams argue against a railroad to the region. They claim it would raise land prices, force sales, and shift the area from cattle ranching to stock farming. They fear losing control of 9000 acres while stressing the county’s undeveloped rural prospects. Jim argues against the project citing long-term harm to their operations and local livelihood.
