Texas has a long, romantic history when it comes to railroads. But even
though steam engines and streetcars offer nonstop service to Nostalgia
City, there's a dark side to Texas rail. The Black Widow of Fort Worth
engineered a fatal double-cross at a railroad crossing. The Mountaineer
Madman brought death to the Texas Electric Railway, while the Trolley
Bandit terrorized the citizens of El Paso. From a freak accident
involving a banana peel to a tragic trip to see Santa Claus, Jeff
Campbell and the staff of the Interurban Railway Museum cross the Lone
Star State on trains derailed by murder and mayhem.
