theoriginalkj Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I park at Hillcroft Transit Center every day and just east of Hillcroft in the middle of the Harwin are these short railroad tracks. I don't see these railroad tracks on any of the railroad maps of Houston that I've seen over the years. Do any of you bright Haif'ers know where these tracks led to, who's railroad this was, and when they were pulled up? http://www.lighthouseproductions.com/storage/rail.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is probably a remnant of a spur serving a private industrial facility that has since relocated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glelam Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 There were a set of tracks at one time along the alignment of the Westpark Toll Road.

Attached picture shows a topo where you can see it curved off former railroad (now in location of Westpark Tollway) and went south to Harwin. 14th Street is in the same alignment so that must have been when the rail was pulled up.
