Rail Road efforts stir Linn County interest in Iowa
The Linn County community debates routes for a rail road from the Mississippi through Lyons and toward the west. Competing lines include the Iowa Central Air Line and the Chicago Iowa and Nebraska Rail Road Company, with Marion Cedar Rapids and Lyons factions rallying support. Local politics and press resist sensationalism as projects advance, while the Keokuk region notes impending Keokuk Fort Des Moines connections and a growing regional rail network. A Louisa County vote endorses a sub-scription to the Keokuk Fort Des Moines line, and the Masseatine directory edition is reviewed as a valuable county resource.
