Railroad Feasibility for Prescott Route Cited
In a talk with Dr. Trout of Trudson last summer, the practicality of a railroad from the southeast into Prescott is discussed. Rev. James A. Stirrat, a reputable surveyor, reports a 36 mile south eastern carriage road toward Madison could bear a railroad from the St. Croix mouth with minimal grade, while noting most terrain would permit easy ascent. The piece urges the doctor to reconsider and to test the claim with instruments.
