Not to be negative, but it’s doubtful. Lots of major hurdles for installing a new rail line versus using an existing right of way or previous right of way.

The 89.6 mile rail line would run eight round trips between the two metros daily at 125 mph, potentially resulting in faster commutes between the metros.

The following is from a post from the Texas Railroad History page, posted by Bruce Blalock.

“Rollin Breedenberg took this photo in January 1961 at MP 229.6 on the SP's Del Rio subdivision. The eastbound Spofford local, No. 86, had completed its work and was heading to East Yard. Rear brakeman Johnny Pedrotti is on the platform. Note the wooden caboose assigned to the local. The T&NO 343 was one of two cabooses equipped with a Coleman stove, cookware, dishes and utensils so that the crew could cook supper and breakfast on the hack at Spofford. Crews spent the night in a bunkhouse north of the main track. It was always the job of the junior brakeman on the crew to buy groceries at Hondo and prepare the meals at Spofford. The engine crew cleaned up after supper and the train crew took its turn after breakfast. The gons ahead of the caboose were loads of natural asphalt picked up at Cline. What a great look into the life of a train crew over 50 years ago! Image graciously shared by Rollin Breedenberg.”

If you want to see more post like this one, we suggest you follow the Texas Railroad History page. We share post from that page as there are many post that pop up on there that are fantastic photos and full of historical information.

Equipment maintenance time!!!

Tearing into the CASE 680L Backhoe today. The right side lift cylinder has given up and has been leaking fluid. This afternoon the cylinder was removed and taken to the shop to be repaired. Should have it back on in a couple weeks.

With the upcoming track project, we will be needing the backhoe operating in top shape for sure!
