The Peanut Line: A System That Made Perfect Sense… At First

This is proof that not every great idea in Clarence Mills actually went anywhere.Some of them… quite literally… stopped almost as soon as they started.What began as a perfectly innocent errand—buying eggs—quickly led to the discovery of a railway system that managed to fail in two directions at once.In this tale from Clarence Mills, unbridled optimism meets municipal ambition, creative accounting, and a railway line so short—and so determinedly inconvenient—that the townsfolk eventually gave it a nickname that stuck.If you’ve ever wondered how a community could proudly build a railway with no engine, no destination, and absolutely no chance of success…You’ve come to the right place.I’ll be right here Thursday morning with another Clarence Mills tale. And if you’d like the next one to arrive without any effort at all, you’re always welcome to follow along.
