Venture into the shadows of the Lone Star State with our Southern Gothic series. 🌆🌌 Each piece captures a Texas city wrapped in mystery and draped in dark allure. Which city’s secrets intrigue you the most?

The Texas Traction Company constructed a sixty-five-mile line from Dallas to Sherman in 1908. The company purchased the Denison and Sherman Railway in 1911. In 1912 the J. F. Strickland interests, which controlled the Texas Traction Company, purchased the twenty-eight-mile line built by the Dallas Southern Traction Company from Dallas to Waxahachie and named it the Southern Traction Company. In 1913 that railway was built on to Waco, and a fifty-six-mile line from Dallas to Corsicana was completed. In 1917 the Texas Traction Company and the Southern Traction Company merged to form the Texas Electric Railway Company, the largest interurban railway in the South, with more than 200 miles of track.  The Greenville Northwestern Railway Company was part of the Greenville-Whitewright Northern Traction Company. It was supposed to go from Greenville to Gainesville. The section from Anna to Blue Ridge, going through Westminster, was all that was constructed. It opened in 1914 and was discontinued in 1920. #interurban #dfwtexas #texascities #texastowns   #streetphotography #dfw #annatx   #texasinterurbanrailway #dfwphotography #texasarchitecture  #texastown #dfwtexas #northtexas #smalltown #downtown #cityview #collincounty #capturedfw #dfwhistory #annatexas #texas_ig #street_photography #streetview #texashistory #instagramtexas #city_captures #Texas #visitdfw #cityphotography #texasrailroad (at Anna, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ10sirpsUM/?igshid=182uyhql5wn4d
