Here are some photos of the McGregor, TX, depot mentioned in a 
previous post.  Taken August 7, 1983.  The track along the sunny 
side is the Santa Fe main line from Fort Worth to Temple and 
Galveston.  The track along the shady side is an old Cotton Belt 
line from Corsicana, down through Waco, through McGregor and 
Gatesville, to Hamilton, and then forking to Comanche and to 
Stephenville (both on the old Ft. Worth & Rio Grande, owned by 
Frisco and later Santa Fe). Don't know how much of this is still 
around. It didn't even make it to Gatesville in the 80s 
(Gatesville station was in a Wal-Mart parking lot) and I know 
hasn't go as far as McGregor in a few years.
