Marooned MoPac rolling stock
Title:  Marooned MoPac rolling stock
Description:  I am fairly confident that this former MoPac caboose and boxcar used to reside at a catfish style restaurant at La Homa and 3 Mile rd in Palmview TX. These cars were moved when a new high school was built in 2008-09. Unfortunately, these cars have now been tagged up so their numbers are unreadable. This location is very far from the current RVSC line, yet near a former cannery-packing shed that was reached by a very long spur that even ran down the middle of the street for 5 blocks.
