The Historical
Texas Central

I grew up in Central Texas, and did not know that there really was a Texas Central Railroad when I chose this name for my model railroad.  I was utterly amazed one day when I passed through Dublin, Texas and saw several switch engines lettered for the TC!  Since then I have discovered more information on what was one of the original rail lines of Texas.  I think you will enjoy this historical account.

These pages are dedicated to the historical Texas Central Railroad!

TEXAS CENTRAL RAILROAD

An article titled "Rolling in Peanuts" from a 70'S RAILROAD MODELER magazine.  An interesting article but with no references to the original TCRR

A page of vintage photos

Several photos of the shortline Alcos
