Texas Midland Railroad : ウィキペディア英語版 | Texas Midland Railroad Texas Midland Railroad (TM) was incorporated in Texas on December 1, 1892 by Hetty Green . The original standard gauge 52 mile line was built between Garrett and Midland Junction (also called Roberts) by the Houston and Texas Central Railroad in 1882. This original line was known as the Northeast Extension of the Houston and Texas Central. The line went bankrupt in 1885 and the Northeast Extension was sold at foreclosure on April 22, 1891 and became the Texas Central . This portion of the Texas Central was sold on October 27, 1892 to Hetty Green. Hetty Green sold the 52 mile railroad to the Texas Midland on January 27, 1893 and installed her son Edward Howland Robinson Green as President and General Manager. Headquarters city of the Texas Midland was Terrell, Texas. At start up the new company had five steam locomotives a 2-4-4, three 4-4-0s and a 4-6-0. Initial capitalization of the Texas Midland was $500,000. Over the next two decades Hetty Green invested some $1.8 million in the Texas Midland. == Betterments and Extensions == In 1894 a new 4-4-0 was purchased from Schenectady. A 19 mile extension was built from Roberts (just south of Quinlan) to Greenville in 1895. A new 4-4-0 was purchased from Baldwin in 1896. On September 1, 1896 trackage rights were granted by the St. Louis Southwestern Railway from Greenville to Commerce. A 38 mile extension was completed between Commerce and Paris in 1897. When the line to Paris was completed the Texas Midland had 125 route miles. Schenectady built three 4-4-0s and nine 4-6-0s for the Texas Midland in 1897. Two 2-8-0s were purchased from Alco in 1913. In 1921 the Texas Midland built its own 14 mile line between Greenville and Commerce. A 1923 report in Poor's Railroads showed the Texas Midland owned 16 locomotives, 16 passenger cars and 183 freight cars.
