The Slaton
Railroad Heritage Association (SRHA) is a 501-(c)-(3) not-for-profit
organization formed in 1990 to preserve, and develop for reuse, the
Slaton Harvey House. The SRHA currently has more than 200 members
and has raised more than $1 million towards its goal of $1,500,000 for
the project. The SRHA is governed entirely by a volunteer,
uncompensated, Board of Directors elected from the membership. The Harvey House has been restored and it serves as an event center, bed & breakfast, and historic Santa Fe landmark. The SRHA plans to acquire rolling stock for display, including possibly another Santa Fe locomotive, as part of the Harvey House complex.

P. O. Box 39, Rusk, TX 75785 Since 1893, Texas State
Railroad has rolled through the beautiful East Texas Piney woods. Today,
passengers board the historic steam train at Victorian stations in the
cities of Rusk and Palestine for a 50-mile round trip. Steam trains
leave each station simultaneously, giving rail enthusiasts a rare chance
to see two trains switch and pass. Website: http://www.texasstaterr.com/

Jane McAfee
The Santa Fe Railroad built this depot in 1930 at
Texon, Texas. The building was retired in 1958 and moved to
Sheffield to serve as a feed store. Jane McAfee purchased the
building in 2002 and moved it to the present site west of Odessa, TX.
The depot has been restored as a museum along with a Santa Fe caboose,
and a handcar can be operated on over 300 feet of track just outside.
A large O gauge model railroad is set up and can be operated by children
of all ages.

The Galveston Harrisburg & San Antonio Railway
built the depot in 1912/13 to accommodate passenger service on the
Victoria/Rosenberg Division and Wharton/Palacios branch line. The depot
sits on the "Macaroni line", named to honor the 1,200 Italian’s who
helped build the track for the New York, Texas & Mexican RR in 1882. |

The museum was
established in 1981 by a group of citizens who strongly believed that
the colorful and unique history of Yoakum should not be forgotten. The
cattle industry, leather factories, railroad roundhouse, tomato growing
and shipping kept a thriving city going for many years. Home for the
museum is located in the Elkins Home. The Elkins family gained fortune
through a chain of five and dime stores. Website: http://www.yoakumusa.com/Virtual_Tour/Museum/museum.html
