Book Title: Counties Of Warren, Benton, Jasper And Newton, Indiana

RAILROADS.

   The Wabash Railroad was fully completed through the county in 1857, but
trains ran over portions of the county the year before. In 1869, the citizens of
Mound Township were called upon to vote for or against a tax to aid the
Indianapolis, Crawfordsville & Danville Railroad, with this result-for, 140;
against, 1,090 The vote to aid the Northern Indiana and Southern Railroad was
also unfavorable about the same time. The Indianapolis, Bloomington & Western
Railroad was built across Mound Township, and the coal branch of the Chicago,
Danville & Vincennes Railroad was graded across Mound, Kent and Steuben
Townships, but never finished. The coming year, 1883, or at any rate 1884, will
see the Chicago & Great Southern Railroad constructed across the county from
north to south. Warren County will then be well supplied with transportation
facilities.
