David Crockett was also a Katy Pullman on the LW Texas Special.

One of two name trains commemorating early Texas heroes. Stephen F. Austin got a Katy passenger car named after him. Perhaps others.

The proofs for my "Passenger Trains of Texas - Rock Island" book arrived here this morning. So far everything looks good. I'll have this back at the printer by the first of next week so hopefully we

A 1945 ad for a train that eventually would be the last Frisco passenger service in Texas. It lasted until 1960. How about a Mike Condren photo to go with this

I am cranking through my many pictures that I took of action on the former SP Midland Branch that has, since about 1990, gone only to Abbeville, Louisiana. With the closure of the rice mill at the

IIRC: Several of the Gulf Coast Chapter NRHS cars are up in Cedar Park at the ASTA facility, not too long ago, they had acquired a former SP car at an Amtrak Auction &
