Speaking of central Mn. My former boss's Dad was telling stories way back in the 60's. He had started a dray line* during prohibition, in Brown County. Local big time "shiner" was setting up along the river & wanted someone to haul sugar from railroad to his still. To try to throw the Feds off, he had boxcar of sugar spotted on a remote siding**. Anyway, Carl lost the bid by 2 bucks a wagonload. Poetic justice, the Feds busted the guy who got the job on his first trip. * dray line- delivering stuff from the railroad to the stores uptown using horse team & wagon. ** remote siding- town of Milford if you are familiar with Little House on the Prarrie tv show.
Slightly OT, Milford Siding was/is a spot in Milford township. When the railroad couldn't pull a full train out of the river valley, they would break the train, pull half up onto flat ground, let it sit on the siding, then back down into the valley to get the rest of the train, recouple on flat ground. Alternative was to send message to Mankato to send a pusher to help up the hill. More than you wanted to know. Willie
