Picture gallery of MKT and MP freight trains
from Fort Worth south to Brownsville, TX
The MKT built south from Fort Worth to Taylor between
1881 and 1882. The I&GN line between Fort Worth and Waco was
built in 1901. It bridged over the Santa Fe near Venus, and
crossed the MKT at Italy. The MP was able to abandon the
line built by the I&GN from Everman to Waco by obtaining
trackage rights over the MKT between Fort Worth and Waco in
the early 60s. The MKT began installing block signals
between Hillsboro and Granger around 1920 and completed the
installation of signals from Fort Worth to Hillsboro in
1922. Included in this set of slides is the largest
train picture collection at Egan, TX.
