Hurston Valley Railroad

Here is the History of the Hurston Valley Railroad.

Early Days:
The Hurston Valley Railroad began as the Hurston Shortline Railroad, with the Reporting Mark of "HSR" an abbreviation, and was founded on October 11TH, Friday, 1844. The first engines on the Hurston were Steam Engines, they were not built for the railroad, but other engines leased by other railroads. The Hurston Shortline Railroad used to be a Switching and Terminal Railroad that mostly handled freight, but would pull passenger trains on occasion. The Railroad also fell on some hard times, nearly going bankrupt in its early years, to the point they had to sell wrecked locomotives for scrap. In 1896, the railroad had finally been back on its feet after 52 depression-filled years.
