The Texas Central Railroad’s Cold Era and Key Figures
A detailed historical recap traces the Texas Central Railroad from its late 19th century infancy to 1910, noting hospital facilities, western terminals at Dublin through Stamford, and eventual sale to the MKT. It highlights Col. McHarg’s ownership, the line’s profitability, and a roster of engineers, conductors, firemen, and shop staff who shaped early Bosque County rail history.
