Western Railroad Discussion > Where Is It?Date: 05/11/17 12:36 Where Is It? Author: Jason-Rose This is sufficiently obscure that it warrants a couple of hints:
1) The is the end-of-track of a 12 mile long short line. 2) "The came, but couldn't take it." Jason Rose Spring, TX Rio Grande Explorations    Date: 05/11/17 13:11 Re: Where Is It? Author: icancmp193 Well, my first two guesses (Linden, CA on the ST&E, Center, CO on the SLC) haven't worked out on Google Maps.
TJY Date: 05/11/17 13:20 Re: Where Is It? Author: Jason-Rose Negative. Nowhere near the west coast and about a 1000 miles from Colorado. Although Center is a great guess. They do look a lot alike.

Yes, I've seen trees in Center. Granted, not as many, but they're there. Yes, this is in Texas. The railroad is very much in business, just not this particular stretch.

The Texas Revolution began at this location and most Texans don't know where it is! Jason Rose Spring, TX Rio Grande Explorations Date: 05/11/17 14:26 Re: Where Is It? Author: miralomarail Is this on a Shortline , If so which one ?
I was just looking on Google Maps and I see a Track that goes through Center, TX, or is there another one ? Date: 05/11/17 14:29 Re: Where Is It? Author: Jason-Rose miralomarail Wrote:

Not Center, Texas. That reference was to Center, Colorado (San Luis Central Railroad). The location in question is in Texas.

I sent the photos to a buddy that knows just about everything (or so it usually seems) and he's a Texan. Totally stumped him. He thought it was Alamosa.
