Texas
State Railroad
Since 1896, trains have rolled along the Texas State Railroad
(TSRR), passing through the beautiful piney woods and rolling
hardwood creek bottoms of East Texas. Today, the historic state
railroad is still maintained as a fully self-contained railroad
system. Its train crews maintain and operate 4 steam engines,
4 antique diesel locomotives, and a complete steam engine restoration
shop; while its track crew maintains over 25 miles of track and
24 bridges.
