Information Needed on Munz & Redwater's old railroad . . .

The TTA is working to produce a written history of the old railroad at Redwater and the Munz community in Cass County, the "North-East Texas Railway", which was built and operated by the Gus Munz / Munzesheimer family.

We are looking for photographs to illustrate the history, and surviving family stories to personalize it. If you have any stories regarding life along this railroad, we'd love to speak with you by telephone or mail. Contact Murry Hammond by e-Mail or call him at 818-653-4626.
