History: | Keeling lists the Eastern Texas Railroad at Tyler with four rod locomotives and thirty miles of road. Keeling recognizes this road as the same as the Eastern Texas Railroad of the Louisiana and Texas Lumber Company in Houston County but gives Tyler as its headquarters. That St. Louis Southwestern leased this road about 1907 may be the fact for the Tyler listing. |
