Uh, okay. This appears to be yet another GNIS entry which fails to convey any other significance. Let me help clue you in. When the Alaska Railroad's passenger service was more utilitarian and less-tourist oriented like it is today, Curry was the midpoint of passenger service. Back then, the main route was between Seward (normally, the furthest extent for steamship travel from Seattle) and Fairbanks, which was a two-day trip, as opposed to the current one-day trip between Anchorage and Fairbanks. Travelers would lay over at the railroad hotel there. There was also a footbridge crossing the Susitna River. All of that is gone now, and I'm pretty sure that no one has lived there since that time.RadioKAOS (talk) 18:38, 26 September 2012 (UTC)Reply
Of course, my childhood town is gone, it was mined out and bulldozed, as was the cemetery, and the church, and I very much doubt a soul would know anything more about it other than the eldest who are croaking off at a fair clip. So in my gusto, I document what I can in the hope that another person comes along and adds more to the article. This is kind of the idea behind this entire effort. I have very little knowledge of that area, and it sounds fascinating. WHY NOT document this in the article.hmmmmmmm. OR you could join the pack critique it, have the town fade from existence and deal with the post existential dilema of watching a place die off totally.
