Electric railway plan eyed for Knox and neighboring counties
A preliminary survey by the Cleveland and Southern Railway winds through Knox and Morrow counties to connect Fredericktown Vernon Centerburg and Mt Gilead via routes from Wooster to London and from Marion to Fredericktown. The project aims to ease congestion between Manfield and Columbus, boost local business, and create east and west outlets for Fredericktown while securing bonds for trackage. Community notes report local visits, funerals, and social events amid discussions of the proposed line.
