Butts County Progress October 1908
Big Dam - Railroad

You who did not believe there ever would be a railroad built in Butts to the 
river, and Ocmulgee river dammed up, just take a ride down the Pike on No. 2, 
like everybody else who is going and you will see what’s being done.  By 
Saturday night of this week we are told that the four hundred foot trestle 
across Yellow Water Creek will be about completed, the railroad has been there 
since the 26th of September, and a large force of hands are at work and will 
be there near the time when the bridge is completed.  Then just a few days and 
the railroad will be across the river.  The bed of the river is being blown 
out for the foundation for the Big Dam, which it will take 3 to 4 years to 
build.
