Larry, I need to do some research on shortlines in Texas. As I mentioned, just not much in Houston. There may be a shortline down in Galveston, need to check that out. May also be some up north of Houston too.

Re: CF&E Action/Short Line Action. - Brakie - 09-15-2010

Gary,For starters there' the Galveston Railroad which operates 38 miles of track serving the Galveston Port Authority.GVSR is a Genesee & Wyoming Inc. (GWI) short line.There are several short lines in Texas..

You also have the Galveston Railroad Museum .

Gary;

Give this Wikipedia page a shot http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Texas_railroads You'll find all sorts of short lines, switching and terminal companies and industrials listed for Texas. Use this list as a starting point to search for web sites, information or photos for individual lines.

Gary, that link http://donsdepot.donrossgroup.net/dr707.htm might be useful for Texas shortlines.
