The San Antonio and Aransas Pass railway project contemplates routes to Brenham and Waco with branches toward Fredericksburg and northeast to Waco. Advocates argue a Brenham route through Refugio Victoria Lavaca Fayette and Austin counties would better serve cotton country and connect to an eventual Waco line. Local capitalists in Brenham pledge support to push the plan through.
