Railroad projeted to span Indiana from Lake Michigan to Ohio River
The November 30 vote in Daviess County approved a ninety thousand dollar appropriation to push a railroad from Lake Michigan to the Ohio River through a vast mineral region. Engineers survey the county as eastern capitalists plan early completion and funding by county pledges. If built, the line would unlock 173 miles of rich mineral lands, promote manufacturing, create jobs, and boost timber, water power, coal, and iron industries, with shipments to Chicago and Michigan City.
