It's not often you see photos of structures on this line except for Paris and Bonham.

T&P song sheet
A popular way for railroads to advertise around 1900 was to publish song sheets for catchy tunes. Here's one T&P published called "Texas, Where the Mockin' Bird is Singin'" : http://dmc.tamu-commerce.edu/cdm/compoundobject/collection/mineolahm/id/290/rec/110 Note the endsheet has that ...
