GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Celebrate the Texas and Pacific Railway with a cap made for fans of rail heritage and corporate history. The T&P began under a federal charter in 1871, opened its Longview-to-Dallas line in 1873, and connected with another railroad at Sierra Blanca in 1881. Its story continued through decades of cooperation and changing ownership, while its former Fort Worth station remains part of the city’s transit landscape. A natural pick for rail enthusiasts, Texas history fans, and collectors.
The Texas and Pacific Railway Company was created by federal charter in 1871 to build a southern transcontinental railroad between Marshall, Texas, and San Diego, California. Its line never reached San Diego; in 1881 it connected with the Southern Pacific at Sierra Blanca, Texas. The railway opened its first line between Longview and Dallas on July 1, 1873, and placed the Marshall-to-Texarkana line in service that December. After construction difficulties, financier Jay Gould acquired an interest in 1879. The Missouri Pacific Railroad leased the T&P from 1881 to 1885, then maintained a cooperative relationship with it. Missouri Pacific gained majority ownership in 1928, while the T&P continued as a separate operating company until their merger on October 15, 1976. Union Pacific purchased Missouri Pacific in 1980; approval followed in 1982, and the actual merger took place on January 1, 1997. In Fort Worth, the former T&P station and offices became condominiums, and station platforms entered commuter service in 2001 as a terminus for the Trinity Railway Express. The railway also helped establish the name of the 2-10-4 locomotive type, nicknamed “Texas” after locomotives delivered to the T&P in 1925.
