Fortunately, the existing Northern and Western rail lines have been left intact and rail traffic is handled on those lines by the Kiamichi Railroad's Chaparel Branch and RailTex's Texas Northeastern Railroad respectively. To the credit of the railroads and the Paris community, the two large depots which stood along the two main line routes have been preserved. I'm pleased to have the opportunity to present a few pictures of these two historic structures and a few other local rail scenes on these pages. You may click on the depots below for additional pictures and info specific to each railroad. Please take advantage of every opportunity to help preserve great pieces of American Railroad history and tradition.
Few scenes are as heartbreaking to a railroad enthusiast as the destruction of a depot.
