Been looking at listings of "ghost towns" near me. Many of these towns were established with a post office, a store or two and a pharmacy around the 1850's time era (100 people). Then once railroad lines were laid, the few stores in the town moved to get beside the tracks. So the "established" town died other than a few markers that were left, like a cemetery or bridge. Sometime 20-50 years later, most of these towns were absorbed into a larger city.
Going to start doing some dated research to see if I can locate where some old structures stood, but have any of you had luck around railroad lines? Makes sense that the stores would move so they could be easily accessable to more people.
