West Texas Rail Spur Links to Mexico and West

The Galveston Harrisburg and San Antonio railway, begun in 1854 and finished in 1877, runs from Harris to San Antonio and extends west to El Paso, connecting with the Mexican Central and the Southern Pacific routes. The line threads through Arizona, New Mexico, and California toward San Francisco, with another corridor to New Orleans, promising comfort in travel and growing business. The article notes the line’s scenic routes, the H-ALC passenger office at 245 Commerce, and mentions key figures like Colonel Wy and Mr. Clint N. Night in railway promotion. It also highlights the Galveston area art showcases and local business vitality accompanying the railway’s expansion.
