We came across this clipping in an old family photo box; alas, we don't know when it was published -- or in what publication -- but we're guessing it was in a Chicago and North Western magazine or newsletter. Rail service first came to Whitney in 1885 when the old Fremont, Elkhorn and Missouri Valley line extended its service from Chadron to Fort Robinson and then on to Lusk, Wyoming. Needless to say, we wish we had the "story below" as a source of further information about what appeared to be a very happy day in Whitney.
