WillowBend56 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Back in 1909 when Rock Island and Frisco were controlled by a common business syndicate, trains operated between New Orleans and Frisco under the Frisco Lines name. St. Louis, Brownsville & Mexico Railway was the corporate name or just "Brownie" for short. This was a precursor to the Gulf Coast Lines. In 1916, the New Orleans, Texas & Mexico Railway assumed control of the Gulf Coast Lines and established itself as an independent railway company until 1924. https://www.flickr.com/photos/28918113@N07/6784520607/in/photolist-bkwrBe-9vY8Sp-8toLQN-bqwV7x-dDWFp3-7HLjRt-bfQkHZ-eee1Sh-9JtQ3K-9K9ZL8-doSHsX-dfceRt-avL8Av-8P5TiS-gm8jo3-jz8bQ6-fARdu6-fB6yDS-bniiH4-fARj6z-fB6sSY-eu3nv6-8Myd8w-csXn11-8T31CR-82dXck-jfarQA-bBdqCo-dDWG9w-83LBL9-dDWFhY-7R1JQt-cWr4mm-hMNfqr-cvGQt5-cvGQDb-cvGQAA-cvGQGW-doWzhh-eh22Tr-cvrprL-dog4ux-cp9fey-dog3Vn-832fms-dVDE2X-97ePiU-97eQm3 Frisco Lines first entered Houston from the south (Rio Grande Valley) in 1907. Offices in Kingsville TX had Frisco on the facade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
