Dry Grove Township
Railroads
McLean County, Illinois

(Transcribed by: Teri Moncelle Colglazier)

The Indianapolis, Bloomington & Western Railroad enters the township one-fourth mile west of the southeast corner of Section 35. It passes diagonally north and west through the township, leaving from the middle of the west side of Section 19. The trains on the I.B. & W.R.R. do stop at Twin Grove, when they have a passenger to that point, and there is a switch there where farmers may load grain, but there is no station-house nor regular station. [The History of McLean County, Illinois, Chicago: W. LeBaron Jr. & Co., 1879]
