| History: | The American Lumberman reported in the summer of 1899 that Emmet Landry was building a mill on Brake's Bayou. A couple of years later, he may have been building west of Beaumont along the trackage of the Beaumont, Sour Lake & Western. In 1906, Landry Lumber Company was noted, by the American Lumberman, to have three miles of tramway under construction and operating one locomotive. An article in the Beaumont Enterprise of May 1907 noted that the tram road was “short.” E. E. Gilmore had just shortly before bought the sawmill from Landry.
