Texas City, 1894
This week's Saturday Flashback features a photo of a photo. In 1893 a four mile rail link was constructed from Texas City to join the Galveston and Henderson Railroad inland at Texas City Junction. A single track trestle-like pier was also built out into Galveston Bay that could be used by small bay craft. The first rail and water shipment was handled in September 1894, which is when I assume this photo was taken.
