Aransas Pass in 1911.
 
 
 
 
Wanted: New Information on Aransas Harbor Terminal Railroad      
         
 

Murry Hammond is working to produce a Rusty Rails & Dusty Trails history newsletters on the Aransas Harbor Terminal Railway that ran from Aransas Pass to Harbor Island until the 1940's. It operated a gasoline powered "railroad truck" to haul passengers and light freight to Harbor Island. I am curious who operated the truck, and would love to document any stories about its daily trips.
