| History: | The Lancaster tram road of the 1890s was located about seventeen miles northwest of Marshall at the Lancaster mill, which belonged either to Lancaster Brothers or to L. V. Lancaster in 1897. L. V. Lancaster in 1897 mortgaged ten oxen and steel or iron rails on his tram. The oxen juxtaposed with metal rails reflects that Lancaster was about to introduce a locomotive onto what had once been, presumably, an animal and wood tram. Keeling noted that the tram road, headquartered at Marshall, was known as the Pine Ridge and Caddo Valley Railway. One narrow gauge rod locomotive ran from Marshall to Harleton, Lancaster, and Pine Ridge.
By 1900, the Grogan Manufacturing Company of Cass County was either leasing or had bought Lancaster outright. Grogan was purchasing rolling stock, including a locomotive and six logging cars in 1902. The switching yards for the tram road were at nearby Harleton. Keeling listed a total of three geared and six rod locomotives operating on the tram road. |
