My FRISCO passenger timetable collection is a bit spotty. The August 1953 issue is the last one that shows trains 517-518 going to both Dallas and Ft Worth. From what I see in Table 17 below, it

Wondering if this also relates to "Brady Island" which is adjacent to where a Bayou empties into Houston Ship Channel near where Harrisburg Blvd. turns into Broadway in
