ping,
Found this one searching for the Permian Rail Articles.
Dore was pretty small, but not a ghost town.
There was a scattering of towns along the rail lines, about a day's wagon ride apart. Some flourished, some faded, and a few are true ghost towns. Dore also had the highway running from Trenton, ND to Fairview, (or Williston, ND to Sidney, MT) so it wasn't as isolated as some of the small railroad towns that died out.
Now, though things are booming...
It was the first of the rail oil loading terminals in the area.
