BENCH AND BAR

The carrying into effect of the plans of the Union Pacific railroad to build a line on a water grade from North Platte to the mountains, brought to our North River country its first and only railroad. This line was built in 1907 and 1908, reaching Lewellen in 1907, and the first train arriving at Oshkosh on August 8, 1908. In September a huge celebration and barbecue was held at Oshkosh to show to the world the gladness of a new railroad town. People came from miles around Julesburg, ( Igalalla, Chappell, etc. All went well and everyone had a good time, even though the meat was not done to a turn.
