[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Modelcar ....I just went over to Google and checked up on what the "Fort Wayne-Hugo" article had to say and found it has a wealth of info....AntiGates, you should be able to glean all kinds of data out of it to answer your questions on Hugo tower, etc... I continued into the web site and found really interesting info [history], on the railroads around Ft. Wayne....Anyone interested should take a look. [/quote] Well, here's what I got back: As to Hugo: A 1918 ICC valuation map listed the location at Hugo correctly or incorrectly as "Hugo, Indiana". But the Wabash apparently had a nack of using acronyms before they were fashionable. Pergo near Montpelier is reportedly combination of Peru and Chicago. Perhaps Hugo is a combination of Huntington and somethint else? Incidentally, my 1897 timetable lists this location as "Muncie Junction". (The north-south line that crossed here was originally the Fort Wayne, Muncie & Cincinatti.)
