Binding dusted text and plates clean. Very Good. President William Joyce informs "The Tremont & Gulf Railway Company is the outgrowth of the Tremont & Gulf Railroad which in its initial stages was merely a logging road with rather poor grades and alignment." He proudly recounts the Company's development. "The storied Tremont & Gulf Railway began life in 1902 when it laid rails from a Tremont Lumber Company railhead 9 miles from the town of Tremont to Winnfield Louisiana some 40 miles to the south. Various small expansions occurred up through 1908 when the original company the Tremont & Gulf Railroad went into foreclosure. The T&G Railway emerged as successor and promptly completed another branch of 20 miles. The shortline served a timber - rich region situated amid the mainlines of several prominent Louisiana carriers: Chicago Rock Island & Pacific; Illinois Central; Louisiana & Arkansas; Missouri Pacific. Nevertheless despite these advantages the pike lost money throughout its existence" web site of Hawkins Rails online.
