| Roscoe, Snyder, & Pacific |
|---|
This small line is headquartered at Roscoe, Texas, a few miles west of Sweetwater. RS&P
serves a car rebuilder here, and interchanges with the UP. When the line was first
constructed, it extended from a connection with the Texas & Pacific at Roscoe through Snyder
to Fluvanna and a connection with the Santa Fe. RS&P abandoned its line between
Snyder and Fluvanna in 1941. Thereafter, the railroad survived on bridge traffic
between the T&P and the Santa Fe until deregulation forced the company to scrap its line
between Roscoe and Snyder in 1984. All that remains is its trackage around the car rebuilder,
plus a storage track approximately two miles in length.

photographed at Roscoe, Texas in October 1994.
This locomotive is no longer on the property; it was recently
replaced by a former Louisiana & Delta CF7.
