FRISCO'S SPRINGFIELD ENTRY WAS EVENTFUL DAY IN 1870
Business Was Suspended and All Joined in the Celebra- tion: Train Load of St. Louisans With Brass Band and 70 Cases of Champagne, Helped Enliven Occasion. . .
"> The formal celebraton of the open- Ing in 1870 of the old Pacific salirbed's southwest branch, extending from St. Louis to Springfield, Mo., and now a part of the Frisco Lines, is described in the following article from the rec- ords of the State Historical Society of Missouri:
"The formal celebration c " the open- pended for the day. and every one ing of the Southwest branch of the Pacific railroad, known today as the Friaco, from 8t. Loula to Springfield on May 3. 1870. marks one of the most notable events in the history of south- west Mimouri.
"This thriving agriculturel and min- Ing region wes until that time separ- jated from many large industriel cen- I tera. and for several years enterprin- ing business men had sought to ne-
pure rallway connectons with St Loula The Pacific railroad, later the Mimouri Pacific, bad secured a char- ter in 1862 for a southwest branch which was to extend from Protile fal 80 known as Franklin), s point about 16 miles from St. Louis, to Spring- field.
Millions In Credit.
In order to promote the develop- ment of the route the national For- ernment had made valiable land grante to the company and the state had extended millions of dollars in credit. But there had been much delay In construction. In 1861 the road had extended to Rolls, and from that point onward wagon traina were used for transportaton. After the: Civil war John C. Prmont made An unsuccessful attempt to complete the road, and it then reverted to the : state. The southwest branch was then leased by the Atlantic and Pa- cific Railroad company on August' 17. 1866. a company which had been char- . tered to build a road alop .; the thir- ; ty-fifth parallel of latitude from Springfield to a function with the main line in Indian Territory. It was . under the management of thia coin- pany that the road was completed.
"In order to participate in the fcs- tivitles, a train load of excursiontsja "I had left St. Louje the night before in a special train of 10 can." They bad brought . St. Louis band to enliten the celebration, to say nothing of 70 bozes of champagne. The ride vus made at 17 or.18 miles-per hour, MI -- eral stops bring made en route to take additional passengers on board.
-"A crowd of- more than -7.000 bid ' gathered at Springfield and when the :ra :: Arrive . a salute was fired by a detachment sent in advance from at. Louis. The excursioniste were taken :o the "old !own." which was a mile and a half a ruth of the railroad town. There won a processlon led by Col.
