Last of the Katy Ends Mineola to Greenville Runs
The Katy Railroad's last official run occurred last Thursday between Mineola and Greenville with engineer W L Trammell and fireman Bill Cross aboard. The line, slow at 12.5 mph, carried crew including W H Moran R L Franks J F Chambers H A Maxwell J E Hall L F Lester and A L Cannon. Operated since 1881 out of Mineola, the line was abandoned due to reduced business after three weekly runs. An emergency run followed earlier this week to move scattered cars.
