History article written for the GFHS website,What Came Before Community Transit?
The railroad reached all the way to Monte
Cristo in 1893, but with sporadic service came
lapses in communication. Around 1910, auto
, stages started carrying passengers and mail to
Granite Falls. The first picture shows the depot
,- I at Hartford, with the autos ready to make their
run to Granite Falls. The car on the left is a
Cadillac from the era, while the one on the
right appears to be a Winton.
The next photo shows McCoy Stage's 1912
Cadillac and Model T Ford parked by the south
side of the bank in Granite Falls. The view is
looking east down Galena St.
The third photo shows that same Cadillac with
mail loaded on its hood, passengers inside, and
future postmaster C.R. Bockmier (driver)
I stopped at the Lochsloy Post Office (now a gas
station and convenience store). Ifyou look
"V closely at today’s building, you can see the
l peak of the old roof.
Another shot shows the same Cadillac driving
past the Myers home near Lochsloy — that road
is now Highway 92 — you might recognize the
house!
