The Farley Line Remembered From Monticello Childhood
A reminiscing piece recalls a fifty six mile Milwaukee railroad line from Cedar Rapids to Farley via Monticello. It traces early private founders, the colorful station life, and the boy narrator’s curiosity, harsh welcome of a cinder, and peculiar “accommodation” train. It notes how Milwaukee later took over, improved service, and connection to Monticello’s pride and Iowa prosperity.
