The Metal City, or rather the project being developed by the Fuller family, had grown considerably in recent months.
In just a few months, the land now under Casey's supervision had grown from a population of just over 100 people to 1,800.
It now had a central square, a train station, three administrative buildings, 10 commercial buildings, and 50 residential buildings.
With six blocks built up, the place already looked more like a small town than the camp Vicente had passed over a year ago.
Many of the original workers had moved their families to Vicente's Metal City. But with the arrival of the trains in the area, the place had grown even faster as the men of the Fuller family realized the opportunities they would have there.
Even without Vicente's request or order, several of his subordinates sent people from their families to this place. Not only was it a place they knew would be safe, but the opportunities for the first arrivals would be great.
