Welcome to Van Alstyne, Tx. Van Alstyne has Texas Electric motor unit #501 and an unknown trailer car. The Dallas Garland & North Eastern (DGNO)... originally SP... still passes through on occasion. These were all taken August 6, 1999. I have no idea where the trucks are but I understand they have been saved.
The body is still in good shape, the roof is tar paper
It says ELECTRIC EXPRESS in the faded letters
Wooden sides with steel ends, this is the rear
A trailer car, this thing has a very thick steel body
A very heavy, well built car, it'll outlive us all

Van Alstyne, the interuban tracks still run down Main Street
The Texas Electric Railway officially abandoned operations on December 31, 1949
