My village, Spring Grove, Illinois, wanted to get its village charter, but didn't have enough people. So, they counted railroad workers while it was being built and became one.
Ninety years ago in McHenry County, high school basketball teams traveled to other towns by train, played the game, stayed overnight and then came back by train the next morning.
One audience member said their parents were hit by a train by the Rusty Nail in Ringwood. Their mother was pregnant, but survived.
