That curve, by the way. later gave
the promoters a lot of grief. for Jay
Goufd's engineers wouldn't approve OF
it at first and it nearly caused q hitch

too.
Mount Hope was started as a town in
1877 and it was nine years later, in 1886,
that the railway was built through
there. Before that the people drove to
Burton. to the north to the railroad.
The bridge was built across the river
in 1873, Burton paying 1000 toward
the cost Of the bridge.

Mount Hope who were heavy contrib
