TRANSPORTATION DEVELOPMENT

Just as the story of a person's life is often best told in the ventures undertaken, and the dreams attempted and at least partially carried to maturity with some substantial results, so the story of Morrill county can be graphically elaborated in the discussion of some of her "dreams" and hopes. The county took its second era of rapid growth from the arrival and building of the Alliance to Sterling, Brush and Denver lines of the Burlington railroad, and the arrival of the branch to Wyoming extending westward from Bridgeport, and later the Union Pacific branch from North Platte. While these three railroad lines measure the achievements accomplished in rail transportation, many others have been planned. These fond hopes have brought forth other fruits. In producing and setting forth the arguments for the fruition of these many hopes, Morrill county has herself discovered and been prompted to set forth to the rest of the world her physical and material resources. Not as a tale of dead hopes, but as a vivid portrayal of the valiant struggle kept up for some two decades by the active, loyal citizens of Morrill count}', do we divert to portray a series of discussions of the many railroad projects launched for further transportation facilities through Morrill county.
