What trail did the trail, of which Potter-Blocker was a collateral branch, replace?
Potter-Blocker Trail The Potter-Blocker Trail (sometimes called the Potter-Bacon Cutoff), and also just the potter-bacon trail was a trail blazed by Jack Potter used to move cattle to market, starting around 1883. It was a collateral branch of the Great Western Cattle Trail, but was shorter and crossed more unforgiving land. The trail went at least from Hebbronville, Texas up to Albany, TX, intersecting the Western Trail at Alice, Texas.
Brad Freeman Trail The Brad Freeman Trail is bicycle trail near Oroville, California, which was part of the Feather River Route until the railroad was moved before construction of the Oroville Reservoir. During construction of the Oroville Dam, the railroad was used for hauling dam materials along the Feather River, and a train collision occurred at one of the trail's tunnels.
