Why this spot
1915-1920s railroad station town
Cain City was founded in 1915 as a station on the Fredericksburg and Northern Railway, named for fundraiser Charlie Cain, on a line whose costly tunnel sent the railroad into receivership. The town declined within a decade and was in advanced decline by the time a dance hall opened in 1927.View source →
