Any information on the "Scholten Railway" that ran out of Lometa, Texas to Bend, Texasgreenspun.com : LUSENET : Shortline, Narrow Gauge and Industrial Railroading : One Thread |
The summary covers my questions. I've only read about the "Scholten Railroad" in the past week in an article by Ross McSwain. I will appreciate all information as at this time I only know where it began and ended; that it bridged the Colorado near Bend; that it was built to haul cedar posts out of the Bend area for shipping on the Santa Fe that had reached Lometa in 1910.

The "Journal of Texas Shortline Railroads" ran an article about the Pfeuffer Cedar Co. logging railroad at Lometa, Texas, in one of their issues about four years ago. You can contact the magazine at JTSLRR@EV1.net.
