Electrified Railroading....Texas Style

Received the following text, pictures, and captions from Kermit Geary, Jr.

A very obscure rail operation in Eastern Texas is this semi-captive mine to power plant operation between Tatum & Dirgin, TX. Access points are scarce. Power used to be some E25B's built in the 1970's, now replaced by E60C's from Mexico. There is a sister operation in the Winfield TX area with NO access points to shoot from!!!
