Looking South towards Annada, MO160 viewsK-line looking south. According to Clarence Cannon's history of Elsberry, when the Clarksville & Western Railway began setting out trackage south, a marker was driven in the ground every 3 miles and that was where a station was built, and then a town usually grew up around the station. Some survived, some did not, some barely hang by a thread.
