Texas Short Line Ry.
The Texas Short Line Railway Company was chartered on February 28, 1901, for the purpose of building and operating a railroad from Grand Saline to a connection with the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railway Company of Texas near Alba, a distance of about ten miles. The company had capital of $200,000 with the general offices in Grand Saline. Members of the first board of directors were E. H. Coombs of Denison; J. B. Seeger, Rudolph Gunner, and W. H. Van Wart, all of Dallas; Henry M. Strong of Battle Creek, Michigan; McGeorge Bunday of Grand Rapids, Michigan; and Charles L. Young of Jersey City, New Jersey. Construction began in 1901 and the Texas Short Line opened in September 1902. The railroad served the coal mines near Alba, owned by Seeger and his associates, and the salt mine at Grand Saline, owned by F. R. Blount of New York City and his associates. In 1903 the railroad reported passenger earnings of $1,000 and freight earnings of $16,000; that year the railroad owned one locomotive and seven cars. Despite the traffic provided by the salt works and coal mines, the company entered receivership on April 20, 1908, and was ordered sold. However, T. B. Meeks of Grand Saline and others acquired the various judgments, claims, and liens as well as the securities of the railroad, and the Texas Short Line was released from receivership without being sold. On May 7, 1910, the charter was amended to authorize the railroad to construct another mile of track at Grand Saline to connect with the Texas and Pacific Railway Company. The Texas and Pacific acquired the railroad in 1929, but the Texas Short Line continued to be operated as a separate company. Following the discovery of oil in Van Zandt County, a ten-mile extension from Grand Saline to Van, the center of the oilfield, was opened on July 10, 1930. A week later, on July 17, Governor Daniel J. Moody addressed more than 700 people at a barbecue celebrating the new service to Van. In 1953 the Texas Short Line reported freight revenue of nearly $46,000 and switching revenue of about $43,500, but it had a deficit of $10,500. By then all equipment was provided by the connecting railroads. In 1959 the ten miles of track between Alba and Grand Saline was abandoned, and in March 1962 the line from Grand Saline to Van was also abandoned.

Texas South-Eastern RR
The Texas Southeastern Railroad Company was chartered on October 9, 1900, by T. L. L. Temple,qv founder of the Southern Pine Lumber Company, and still belongs to the same, now diversified, organization (see THOMPSON TIMBER INTERESTS). On February 6, 1931, the railroad was renamed the Texas South-Eastern Railroad Company. The company, capitalized at $100,000, has offices at Diboll. Members of the first board of directors were Temple of Texarkana, Arkansas; C. M. McWilliams of Texarkana, Texas; and W. J. Williams, Charles Frederick, Watson Walker, W. P. Rutland, and William Ashford, all of Angelina County. In 1898 the Southern Pine Lumber Company purchased a seven-mile narrow gauge railroad from W. N. Atwood, which became the basis for the Texas Southeastern. After the incorporation of the railroad, the line was rebuilt and extended about fifteen miles eastward from Diboll to a connection with the St. Louis Southwestern Railway Company of Texas (Cotton Belt). This gave the Texas Southeastern a second outlet for its traffic, as the company already connected with the Houston East and West Texas Railway Company at Diboll. With two railroads now competing for its traffic, the Cotton Belt connection gave the Texas Southeastern a more assured car supply as well as a higher division of the freight rates on outbound lumber.
In May 1906 the charter of the Texas Southeastern was amended, authorizing the railroad to build in a westward direction to Everett in San Jacinto County with branch lines from Blix to Lufkin and from Vair to Neches in Houston County. In March 1908 the company sold its mileage east of Diboll to the Southern Pine Lumber Company. On November 28, 1908, the railroad was recognized as a common carrier by the Railroad Commission,qv and by early 1909 the company had completed nearly twenty-eight miles of track between Diboll and Neff and between Blix and Lufkin. The company did no additional construction, although during 1915 and 1916 the Texas Southeastern operated more than seventeen miles of a logging railroad built by the Southern Pine Lumber Company between Neff and Bluff City. In December 1915 the company also obtained trackage rights over the Cotton Belt for log trains between Lufkin and White City, a distance of forty-two miles, which briefly expanded the Texas Southeastern to eighty-seven miles. However, in August 1916 service was discontinued to Bluff City, and in March 1919 the company also sold the 7.7 miles between Vair and Neff to the Southern Pine Lumber Company. Between 1908 and 1932 the Groveton, Lufkin and Northern Railway Company operated over the company's track between Vair and Lufkin.
The Texas South-Eastern is one of three short line railroads remaining from the boom period of the East Texas lumber industry.qv This can be attributed to the policy of the parent organization, now Temple-Inland, Incorporated, which practiced sustained cutting of timber and to the development of ancillary industries at Diboll. In addition, the railroad also serves various industries at Lufkin. Its principal traffic has always been lumber and forest products, but daily for more than forty years it also ran a mixed train known affectionately as either "Take it Slow and Easy" or "Tattered, Shattered, and Expired." Between November 1, 1962, and December 31, 1969, the Texas South-Eastern also leased the Texas State Railroadqv from Palestine to Rusk. Until 1938 the vice president of the Texas South-Eastern was E. C. Durham, who had previously worked for the Texas and Pacific Railway Company. Durham was general manager of the railroad during the "Tap Line Case" before the Interstate Commerce Commission and was selected to speak on behalf of the other tap lines. He was succeeded by H. G. Temple, who was also vice president of the Southern Pine Lumber Company at the time. The railroad and lumber companies were closely associated throughout their histories.
In 1978 the 2.4 miles of the Texas South-Eastern between Blix and Vair was abandoned, leaving the railroad with 17.75 miles of track. Like other railroads built to tap the forests of Angelina and neighboring counties, it spawned far-flung logging camps which eventually died or were moved when the timber in the area was cut. Unlike the other camps, the town of Diboll continues to prosper. The partnership of Temple-Inland and the Texas South-Eastern played no small part in the prosperity of Diboll and the surrounding area of East Texas. However, the coming of railroad deregulation in the 1980s and the abandonment of the Cotton Belt line into Lufkin has meant changes on the Texas South-Eastern. The railroad now finds it advantageous to interchange freight directly with the Southern Pacific, successor to the Houston East and West Texas, at Diboll rather than to haul the cars to Lufkin. Likewise, the freight originating or terminating at Lufkin is interchanged at that point. As a result, the Texas South-Eastern no longer operates trains over its main line between Diboll and Lufkin and limits itself to industrial switching at the two points.
