On Dec. 15, 1913, The Eastern Texas Electric Co., now GSU, commenced rail service between Beaumont and Port Arthur. Deluxe electric trolley cars ran once an hour. The Nederland Station, 50 feet to the west, served as a depot for passengers, freight, and mail until Aug. 15, 1932, when the service was discontinued. In 1933 the station and rails were removed, permitting the right-of-way to be used for high voltage power lines.
