Post 2

According to Bob Bowman, "The ghost road began as a rail line when the Sante Fe Railroad hacked a route from Bragg to Saratoga in 1902." During that time, they used the railroad for regular service: carrying people, cattle, oil, logs, and many more. Once the oil depleted, they decided to remove the tracks and use it as an old country road. "Thanks to people like Hardin County Commissioner Ken Pelt and Big Thicket advocate Maxine Johnson", the road is now considered to attract tourist by not the ghost stories but by the scenic attraction (Bob Bowman). Bragg Road at Day Light This ghost road is known as the "Bragg Road".
