    1. [MORANDOL-L] Railroads 1870-1880

    3. I found an ancestor in the 1870 Randolph County, MO census...Moberly Twp. The information for this ancestor says that he worked on the railroad section crew. He is NOT in the next Randolph County census of 1880. It is a possibility that he followed the railroad construction crew to a new destination. Do any of you have knowledge of the history of the railroads through Randolph County during 1870-1880? What were the names of the railroads at that time? And do you know the direction that the construction crews were going at that time? Maybe I could find this ancestor in another county, if I had an idea which direction the construction was going. Thank you, in advance, for any helpful information. Paula

    3. Paula, The railroad was the Wabash. A section crew is responsible for maintainance of a certain section of track, so he probably been based here We still have them, though the Wabash is now the Norfolk Southern. Most importantly, what was your relative's name?

    3. Paula & Linda, I apologize. I was too hasty in my reply. In 1870 the railroad was the North Missouri. After a few name changes such as the St Louis, Kansas City and Northern, it became the Wabash. The MKT started about 1872.
