Merchants and business owners of Piggott could see the value of having a second railway passing through town in the years between 1910 and 1916. They got together and raised over $10,000.00 to attract the Butler County Railway to build track through our town. That would be quite a sum in todays currency.

$10000.00 in 1916 would be the approximate value today of $194870.30...or more!

Was this the old "Moose" Line that ran to Pollard? GRH
