The Cadiz Railroad was built around the turn of the 20th century for the purpose of transporting tobacco to Gracey, KY. According to legend, when the railroad was organized in 1901, a company needed to have at least 10 miles of track. So, founder William Cleland built about two extra miles of curves into the line to ensure Cadiz would have its own rail line.
