Plan for railroad link to Sedalia and Fort Scott gains support
A proposal outlines extending railroad access through Bourbon and Allen counties to Sedalia Missouri, with depots planned at Marmaton and Marion township. It argues the route adds about twenty six miles of track, boosts taxable property, and would spur two thriving towns while drawing backing from Sedalia Fort Scott and Union Pacific branches.
