At the start of the 20th century railroads were the main life line
for communities to get their products out to the world. This is the
true story of how one man changed a large portion of Southern
Indiana from a back woods area to a thriving mineral extraction
economy. John R. Walsh was a Chicago banker that financed a small
belt line railroad and quarry in Bedford, Ind. The loan went sour
and he was hung with the assets when the borrowers went broke. This
story reports his efforts to save his investment loan capital, and
in the process made limestone a nation wide recognized building
product. Other railroads of the time were reluctant to adequately
serve the quarries and mills, so John R. Walsh bought a defunct
rail line and made it into a 'State of the Art' railroad to move
his products to market. To get enough traffic on his railroad to
make it profitable, he opened up several coal mines in Western
Indiana., so his line would have more to haul. Railroads were
expensive to build, and Walsh borrowed more from his bank than the
banking laws allowed. In addition the large railroads in the
Chicago area did not want another road entering Chicago. As John
was building his railroad into Chicago, he was brought into federal
court on banking law violations and found guilty. This book is a
diary of the overall events that caused him to get into the
railroad business, how he built the road, day to day chit-chat
about what happened on a 1900 railroad, and the trial that put him
in jail.
