J.P.GETTER, Gen'l Manager. |
F.F. Whittekin, the civil engineer who surveyed the
KVRR, was honest when he told the
directors, during the construction of the road, that it would be crooked. The length of the
railroad turned out to be 9.20 miles (14.81 kilometers), and although 6.04 miles (9.72 kilometers) of that was straight, the
remainder had 26 curves. There were nine ascending grades (to Belleville) with an aggregate
length of 5.60 miles (9.01 kilometers), and one descending grade measuring .32 mile (0.51 kilometers), leaving 3.28 miles (5.28 kilometers) of
level track. The three wooden bridges were supported on stone piers; two bridges were 60 feet
(18.3 meters) long, with two spans of 30-foot (9.1 meters) sections each, and the last bridge east of Belleville, near
Gibboney Station, was 120 feet (36.6 meters) long, with three spans of 40-foot (12.2 meters) sections. During
construction two 90-foot-long (27.4 meters) "temporary" wooden trestles were built, to postpone the expense
of deep fills. Around 1900-1902 wyes were built at both ends of the road so that the
KV engine could turn
around. In Reedsville this required a 109-foot (33.2 meters) deck plate girder bridge to be built to cross
Kishacoquillas Creek.
All the stops between Belleville and Reedsville were flag stops, meaning that a train
would stop only on signal or if notice was given to the conductor. However, the
KV was very accommodating and
one could thumb a ride on the train anywhere along its route. A common saying was that the
KV train stopped once
at every single house and twice at every double house.
