Celebrate the Texas and New Orleans Railroad, a name shaped by the growth of rail service across Texas and Louisiana. Chartered in 1856, the company began construction near Houston the following year, reached Orange by 1862, and helped establish a through route to New Orleans in 1880. Southern Pacific acquired the railroad in 1881, and the T&NO name remained until the 1961 merger. This shirt suits railfans drawn to the people, places, and transitions behind the network.
Chartered in 1856 as the Sabine and Galveston Bay Railroad and Lumber Company, the line was formed to connect Madison, now Orange, with Galveston Bay. Construction began near Houston in 1857, and the name changed to Texas and New Orleans Railroad in 1859. By 1862, service connected Houston and Orange, though Civil War disruptions and a washed-out Trinity River bridge interrupted operations. After receivership and sale, a newly chartered company resumed service; the first train from Houston to Orange in more than a decade ran in 1876. In 1878, the T&NO, Charles Morgan’s Louisiana and Texas Railroad and Steamship Company, and the Louisiana Western Railroad agreed to complete the route. The first through train from Houston to New Orleans ran on August 30, 1880. Southern Pacific acquired the T&NO in 1881. In 1927, it leased other Southern Pacific lines in Texas and Louisiana, and in 1934 those properties merged into the T&NO, which then operated 3,713 miles of railroad. On November 1, 1961, the remaining 3,385 miles merged into Southern Pacific, ending the T&NO as a separate company.
