Marshall and East Texas Railway #56 or #57 pull a three car passenger train into Gilmer.
M&ET #56 or #57 with a passenger train at the Kelsey Depot.
An M&ET passenger train at the Rosewood Depot.
An unknown M&ET locomotive went through a bridge near Ashland.
M&ET #57 carries a medical train from Marshall. Note the two cars upside down in the muck. This was at the Little Cypress Bayou Trestle a few miles east of Harleton. I’ve already discussed this story here if you’re interested.
