The Cane on the Brazos. I sense a song there. Anyone?

What used to be the Rock Island line still passes through here east-west. There was north-south line here, too. Those tracks were torn up years ago and now the right of way is a nature trail, except for the part just north of town where the owner plants corn there. The corn in the right of way is always stunted and looks awful, it would be nice if he would let it be part of the trail. The trail picks up again farther north and passes through West Branch, birthplace of Herbert Hoover.
