I know of one old town north of where I live, which was ruined when the promised train station didn't materialize, in favor of a different town, which then grew out of nothing and flourished. I'm thinking whatever the railroads wanted, they got.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-18076051597254808982015-03-12T06:58:41.418-07:002015-03-12T06:58:41.418-07:00I've never noticed (until now) how places in t...I've never noticed (until now) how places in the USA change names - although I did know the railroads would name their stations - regardless of the local community's name - and the community would later change their name to match the railroads.Intense Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08441598926026727682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-35328677360283852742015-03-11T22:56:47.998-07:002015-03-11T22:56:47.998-07:00That thought just tickles me.

The family I was working on had left Virginia for North Carolina.
