UNSETTLED · A CARRIER AGAINST THE NOMINATION AGAINST THE STATION RECORD
The question: the coming of the railroad — the event that made New Carlisle a station town and unmade Hamilton — stands's record in three forms. Howard and the district nomination's tradition give the Lake Shore railroad in 1851. The rail literature gives the South Shore's New Carlisle station opened about 1908, closed July 5, 1994 — a different railroad, two generations later. And the town's promotion association dates "the arrival of the South Shore Railroad" to 1852 — a telling that matches neither the line it names nor, exactly, the year the record gives the line it seems to mean. Three tellings, at three strengths: the county history and the nomination at document strength, the station record at trade-press strength, the association's page at carrier strength. The build prints them unmerged; the corporate record of the two railroads is the settler, and it belongs to the transportation leg's ground — this article exists so the conflict is on the build's books in the sources file where a checker looks first.
