Re: Talking Or Reminiscing?

Thank you Clark! Couple of things: 1. What type of motorcar did you Dad operate? 2. Where was the terminal in Ballinger? I made a couple of weekend trips to Ballinger backtracking the AT&SF line. Of course this was after the roundhouse and other structures were gone. Again, Thanks Robin Warren I...

Re: Bonham & Sherman roundhouses

If I figure out how I will post some pictures. There is one floating around of the engine house when it was still standing. I have pictures of the foundation of the structure with the pits. The turntable pit has been dug out. Plans are underway by "Fannin Rural Rail Transportation" to full...
