Nostalgia & History > T&P station in Terrell,Tx -- Dec 81Date: 02/11/16 13:46 T&P station in Terrell,Tx -- Dec 81 Author: gcm 1-2) About 30 miles east of Dallas on the old Texas & Pacific line is (it's still there) this station at Terrell.
Amtrak's Texas Eagle passes through here (at speed-no stop).   Date: 02/11/16 15:59 Re: T&P station in Terrell,Tx -- Dec 81 Author: The_Chief_Way Is this all there ever was? Looks like just the express buidling standing.

the REA office. Terrell rated a bigger building than this for passengers and I have reason to believe it has long since been razed. Date: 02/11/16 19:33 Re: T&P station in Terrell,Tx -- Dec 81 Author: millerdc Looks like this may have been the freight station

Yes the picture was the freight station. The passenger station was a block east and served the T&P and the TM until the TM was abandoned.
