Marker Text: Economical to build, operate and maintain, many narrow gauge railroads were running in Texas between 1853 and 1900. Some were "Taps" (for towns off the main line); some logging roads, going deep into woods and swamps. 
     Hauled passengers, thousands of cattle, tons of sugar cane or other crops, and were used for general traffic. One line - Great Sweetgum, Yubadam & Hoo Hoo - operated at first as the T.M. & C. (Two Mules and a Car). 
      The two engines at Six Flags over Texas were built in 1887 and 1903, and rebuilt according to original specifications. (1966)
