Atkinson and Northern Railroad

American company1

The Atkinson and Northern Railroad was founded in the late 19th century to operate north from Atkinson, Nebraska, for about 25-30 miles to Perry in Boyd County, Nebraska. Although several cuts were made in preparation for the railroad, no track was laid and the railroad folded before it began. The line was proposed as a way to get grain from the farms in Holt and Boyd counties to market.2 Wikipedia text CC BY-SA 4.0
