Cisco
& Northeastern Ry
The Cisco and Northeastern Railway Company was chartered on December 4,
1918, to build seventy miles from Cisco in Eastland County to Graham in Young
County. The capital was $500,000, and the business office was located at Cisco.
Members of the first board of directors included Robert Q. Lee, William Reagan,
E. B. Gude, D. K. Scott, G. D. Ward, A. J. Ward, C. H. Fee, J. J. Butts, J. R.
Skinner, and J. W. Mancill, all from Eastland County. The road completed
twenty-eight miles from Cisco to Breckenridge between August 1919 and October
1920, during the height of the Ranger oil boom. It paid 7.15 percent on capital
stock, but all surplus was reinvested in the property. The Texas and Pacific
bought a controlling interest in the road at the book value of $160 per share in
January 1927. However, the Cisco and Northeastern continued to operate as a
separate company and completed an additional thirty-seven miles from
Breckenridge to Throckmorton in April 1928. The road ceased operations in 1942.

Dallas
Terminal Ry. & Union Depot Co.
The Dallas Terminal Railway and Union Depot Company was chartered on
December 10, 1894, to build north from Dallas for twenty miles to a connection
with the St. Louis Southwestern Railway Company of Texas between Plano and Fort
Worth. The capital was $500,000, and the business office was in Dallas. Members
of the first board of directors included Alexander Sanger, Royal A. Ferris,qqv
W. C. Connor, J. C. O'Connor, E. M. Reardon, Barnett Gibbs, and J. E. Schneider,
all of Dallas. Earlier businessmen of Dallas had offered the Cotton Belt, then
operating as the Texas and St. Louis, cash, land, and right-of-way to extend its
line from Mount Pleasant to Dallas by April 1, 1884. The Cotton Belt could not
meet this deadline and, in fact, bypassed Dallas and built to Fort Worth. The
Dallas Terminal Railway charter authorized it to build a belt line around Dallas
and a connecting road to the Cotton Belt track in Fort Worth. For several years
the company retained its charter but laid no track. Finally, between 1893 and
1896 it laid four miles of industrial track in Dallas. In 1899 the name of the
company was changed to Dallas, Fort Worth and Gulf Railway Company, and the plan
to build a line to Fort Worth was revived. Two miles of additional track was
laid. In 1901 the company was purchased by the St. Louis Southwestern Railway to
provide terminal facilities at Dallas for its Texas subsidiary. The charter was
again amended when the company's original name was restored. A passenger depot
was built in 1903, and track was laid connecting with all Dallas railroads. In
1916, when Union Depot opened, the Dallas Terminal passenger depot was closed.
In 1953 the Interstate Commerce Commission authorized the St. Louis Southwestern
Railway Company to lease and operate the company's properties, and Dallas
Terminal Railway and Union Depot Company became a nonoperating lessor. In 1994
it was merged into the St. Louis Southwestern.

Fort
Worth Belt RR
The Fort Worth Belt Railway was a terminal line with 3.2 miles of mainline
track and 15.27 miles of yard track and sidings. It was incorporated as the Fort
Worth Stockyards and Belt Railway Company on November 26, 1895, and the name was
changed to Fort Worth Belt on January 22, 1903. The business office was located
at Fort Worth. Members of the first board of directors included George B.
Robbins, J. B. Googins, O. W. Matthews, W. B. King, W. B. Robbins, W. O.
Johnson, and H. C. Gardner.
The company laid thirteen miles of track in Fort Worth in 1904-05 and two
miles in 1913. Although it was originally intended as a belt railway, the
railroad operated as a switching line for the Fort Worth railroads and a plant
facility for industries. It served several large meat, provision, grain, and
produce companies in north Fort Worth, but its primary customers were the Fort
Worth Stockyardsqv Company and
the Armour and Swift packing companies. In 1931, in compliance with a United
States Supreme Court ruling that required all packing concerns to dispose of
their interest in terminal railroads and stockyards, the Fort Worth Stockyards
Company made arrangements to sell the railway. On May 31, 1931, an agreement was
signed, subject to the approval of the Interstate Commerce Commission, by which
the road was acquired by the Republic National Company, which then contracted to
sell 60 percent interest, valued at $900,000, to the Texas and Pacific Railway
Company. Application for approval was filed on August 19, 1931, but the
application was denied in March 1932, when the commission ruled that the price
was too high. Sale was authorized, however, at $700,000. The Fort Worth Belt was
merged into the Missouri Pacific Railroad Company on November 1, 1978.

Fredericksburg
& Northern Ry
The San Antonio, Fredericksburg and Northern Railway Company was chartered
on January 3, 1913, to connect Fredericksburg with the San Antonio and Aransas
Pass Railway Company near Waring, a distance of about twenty-five miles. The
capital stock was $30,000, and the principal place of business was
Fredericksburg. Members of the first board of directors were R. A. Love of
Kansas City, and Foster Crane, M. H. Trice, R. L. Cunningham, J. H. Haile, F. F.
Ludolph, and George D. Campbell, all of San Antonio. Prior to October 1912
citizens of Gillespie County organized a committee that secured subscriptions
for $200,000 in cash donations plus right-of-way donations and contracted with
Love to transfer the donations to him, provided that he build a railroad to
Fredericksburg. Love contracted the actual building of the railroad to Crane,
which completed the 23½-mile line between Fredericksburg Junction and
Fredericksburg on November 1, 1913. The contractor received the $200,000 in cash
donations, but was unable to collect $13,000 of the amount. In addition, Love
had to give his note for $134,070, as the funds available were insufficient to
construct the line, which included a 920-foot tunnel. This was one of six
railroad tunnels eventually constructed in Texas, but the only one in use at
that time. In 1916 the company owned two locomotives and one car and reported
passenger earnings of $10,000 and freight earnings of $36,000. However, the road
was not profitable, and the SAF&N was unable to meet its operating expenses
and payments on the note it assumed from Love. The company was operated by a
receiver from October 28, 1914, until it was sold under foreclosure on December
31, 1917, to Martin Carle who deeded the property to the Fredericksburg and
Northern Railway Company.
Nancy Beck Young
The Fredericksburg and Northern Railway Company was chartered on December
26, 1917. It connected Fredericksburg with Fredericksburg Junction, twenty-four
miles to the south on the San Antonio and Aransas Pass Railway in Kendall
County. The capital was $25,000, and the principal place of business was
Fredericksburg. Members of the first board of directors were James M. Dobieqv
of Cotulla; C. B. Lucas of Berclair; and Richard R. Russell,qv
Thomas E. Mathis, W. W. Collier, J. H. Haile, and J. L. Browne, all of San
Antonio. The Fredericksburg and Northern acquired the twenty-four miles of the
San Antonio, Fredericksburg and Northern Railway Company, which was sold under
foreclosure on December 31, 1917. Under the ownership of Mrs. R. F. Spenser the
new railroad faired better than the old. In 1919 it grossed $15,353 and showed a
profit of $3,003. In 1925 it showed a profit of $5,970. In 1926 it reported
passenger earnings of $4,000 and freight earnings of $56,000 and owned two
locomotives and one car; it was listed as a Class III railroad. Over the next
several years revenue increased at a healthy rate, and operating expenses were
kept at acceptable levels. But the railroad was still unable to service the debt
incurred to purchase the railroad. The projected Gulf and West Texas Railway was
to have included the Fredericksburg and Northern as part of its route, but the
failure of this project left the company on its own. Train service ended July
27, 1942.
Victoria S. Murphy in Handbook of Texas Online
North of the Teutonic settlement of Fredericksburg is this marker along
the highway, and the tunnel itself.
The marker reads "TUNNEL OF THE FREDERICKSBURGH & NORTHERN
RAILWAY In 1913 area residents raised money to build a railroad linking
Fredericksburg to San Antonio. The 920 Foot tunnel beneath this hillk increased
the cost by $134,000 and required five months of hard labor. It opened a faster
trade route for area merchants and farmers. Each time passenger trains entered
the tunnel, small rocks, loosened by engine exhaust, were removed from the track
and windows closed to keep out coal smoke. The railroad operated until 1942 when
the trackage was sold for scrap."

On February 6, 1931, the railroad was renamed the Texas South-Eastern Railroad Company. The company, capitalized at $100,000, has offices at Diboll. Members of the first board of directors were Temple of Texarkana, Arkansas; C. M. McWilliams of Texarkana, Texas; and W. J. Williams, Charles Frederick, Watson Walker, W. P. Rutland, and William Ashford, all of Angelina County. In 1898 the Southern Pine Lumber Company purchased a seven-mile narrow gauge railroad from W. N. Atwood, which became the basis for the Texas Southeastern. After the incorporation of the railroad, the line was rebuilt and extended about fifteen miles eastward from Diboll to a connection with the St. Louis Southwestern Railway Company of Texas (Cotton Belt). This gave the Texas Southeastern a second outlet for its traffic, as the company already connected with the Houston East and West Texas Railway Company at Diboll. With two railroads now competing for its traffic, the Cotton Belt connection gave the Texas Southeastern a more assured car supply as well as a higher division of the freight rates on outbound lumber.
In May 1906 the charter of the Texas Southeastern was amended, authorizing the railroad to build in a westward direction to Everett in San Jacinto County with branch lines from Blix to Lufkin and from Vair to Neches in Houston County. In March 1908 the company sold its mileage east of Diboll to the Southern Pine Lumber Company. On November 28, 1908, the railroad was recognized as a common carrier by the Railroad Commission,qv and by early 1909 the company had completed nearly twenty-eight miles of track between Diboll and Neff and between Blix and Lufkin. The company did no additional construction, although during 1915 and 1916 the Texas Southeastern operated more than seventeen miles of a logging railroad built by the Southern Pine Lumber Company between Neff and Bluff City. In December 1915 the company also obtained trackage rights over the Cotton Belt for log trains between Lufkin and White City, a distance of forty-two miles, which briefly expanded the Texas Southeastern to eighty-seven miles. However, in August 1916 service was discontinued to Bluff City, and in March 1919 the company also sold the 7.7 miles between Vair and Neff to the Southern Pine Lumber Company. Between 1908 and 1932 the Groveton, Lufkin and Northern Railway Company operated over the company's track between Vair and Lufkin.
The Texas South-Eastern is one of three short line railroads remaining from the boom period of the East Texas lumber industry.qv This can be attributed to the policy of the parent organization, now Temple-Inland, Incorporated, which practiced sustained cutting of timber and to the development of ancillary industries at Diboll. In addition, the railroad also serves various industries at Lufkin. Its principal traffic has always been lumber and forest products, but daily for more than forty years it also ran a mixed train known affectionately as either "Take it Slow and Easy" or "Tattered, Shattered, and Expired." Between November 1, 1962, and December 31, 1969, the Texas South-Eastern also leased the Texas State Railroadqv from Palestine to Rusk. Until 1938 the vice president of the Texas South-Eastern was E. C. Durham, who had previously worked for the Texas and Pacific Railway Company. Durham was general manager of the railroad during the "Tap Line Case" before the Interstate Commerce Commission and was selected to speak on behalf of the other tap lines. He was succeeded by H. G. Temple, who was also vice president of the Southern Pine Lumber Company at the time. The railroad and lumber companies were closely associated throughout their histories.
In 1978 the 2.4 miles of the Texas South-Eastern between Blix and Vair was abandoned, leaving the railroad with 17.75 miles of track. Like other railroads built to tap the forests of Angelina and neighboring counties, it spawned far-flung logging camps which eventually died or were moved when the timber in the area was cut. Unlike the other camps, the town of Diboll continues to prosper. The partnership of Temple-Inland and the Texas South-Eastern played no small part in the prosperity of Diboll and the surrounding area of East Texas. However, the coming of railroad deregulation in the 1980s and the abandonment of the Cotton Belt line into Lufkin has meant changes on the Texas South-Eastern. The railroad now finds it advantageous to interchange freight directly with the Southern Pacific, successor to the Houston East and West Texas, at Diboll rather than to haul the cars to Lufkin. Likewise, the freight originating or terminating at Lufkin is interchanged at that point. As a result, the Texas South-Eastern no longer operates trains over its main line between Diboll and Lufkin and limits itself to industrial switching at the two points.
