History: | Traylor Russell described the tram road running northwest from Naples into Titus County. Branches from the main tram snaked across the Sulphur River into Red River County near Rock Crossing and at Jones Crossing. Oxen and wagons were used for skidding sawtimber.
The Strapac work identifies the road as the Naples and Sulphur River. It sold a Porter locomotive to the Dayton Lumber Company.
The company went into bankruptcy in 1912. |
