Rensselaer Republican, Volume 22, Number 18, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 2 January 1890 — Railroad Rumors Revived. [ARTICLE]

Railroad Rumors Revived.

Rochester Republican: Judge Slick and & gentleman sent out by New York banking house, started today to drive over the surveyed line of the Rochester, Rensselaer <fc St Louis railroad, and tlie supposition is that if it is thought practical and advisable the money to build the road can be readily secured from the New York house. We have faith to believe that the road will be built Spring the coming season. Winamac Republican: Hope has revived in many people for the early beginning of grading for the proposed Rochester & Rensselaer railroad. Last week New York capitalists went over the surveyed route, and it is understood are much pleased with the prospect—so much so that they are willing to loan money on first mortgage bonds of the company. There seems to be better prospect now than at any previous time of the road being built. Not much is said to excite the people, as heretofore, but when railroad men get ready to build they quit gush and go to work.
