Those Mercer County Railroad Days

Longing for the days of trains moving through Mercer County. It was actually a subject that received attention at the end of this week’s Aledo City Council meeting says Mayor Chris Hagloch.

Several different rail lines ran through Mercer County from 1869 all the way through 1986.

Her work on Mercer County rail lines was featured in a 2014 Mercer County Historical Society Newsletter.
