Franklin and Warren counties railroad plan outlined at Washington meeting
A public meeting in Washington on August 90 addressed building a railroad linking Washington with Lincoln and Warren counties coal regions to the north and Franklin county farms to the south. Judge D Q Gale chaired, committees were formed to draft articles of association, seek subscriptions, and secure a charter for the Franklin and Warren counties railroad company. The plan envisions connecting to St Louis lines and linking to major routes, with stockholders to elect directors and organizers to liaise with regional railroad and commerce groups. The gathering pledged to pursue the enterprise with honest means and urged broad support across counties involved.
