I was in Hearne Texas yesterday on the way to College Station to see my new grand daughter :) and of course had to do some rail fanning. I have seen this station before but wanted to get some shots of it. It is a 1901 MP/SP station, it is unique in that is was built between a cross over main line giving it a triangle foot print. I plan on taking more measurements and eventually scratch build this beauty. Nice work by the team that restored this truly incredible structure.
Here is just a collection of things that I enjoy and will give you a better idea of the world I live in....
Please take some time to browse through my previous postings on the left side of the page.
I hope you enjoy my random thoughts and blog subjects...
thanks - Mike

It is great when the historic structures of railroading are restored. A crossing of the Missouri Pacific and Southern Pacific sure was once a key place in Texas Railroading.
Your absolute right, this little town hosted one of the largest railroad active eras in Texas history.
