My day retired from the T&P after 30 years in 1970, El Paso - Big Spring. I worked for them in 1967-68, El Paso, Toyah, Odessa. Look forward to reminiscing!

<t>I boarded a T&P passenger, Dallas to El Paso in the summer of 1964. Cars were being switched in the yard, putting the train together. I walked to the end of the car, and, staring at me across the vestibule was the headlight and front end of a steam switcher. In 1964! Can anybody shed any ligh...

<t>When I worked for the TP in the 60's, old-timers remembered a head-on at Sandhills, near Monahans, in the late 40's.

No sign of the old water facilit...

<t>Hi Brat<br/> My dad was a T&P brakeman out of El Paso from 1945 to 1975. Like you I used to go to work with him. I would help on baggage from El Paso to Big Spring throwing out mailbags at places like Pecos and Monahans. We would stay over at the Settles hotel in Big Spring.<br/> I later work...

<t>Good luck trying to get information on the Jefferson wreck. I'm trying to track down info on a wreck near Monahans in '46 or '47. My father, a T&P brakeman, was on the scene a short time after the wreck and took pictures. I may still have them, and am searching. <br/> If I learn anything abou...
