A 25-mile narrow-gauge railroad operated about 1912-1920 from Lometa to San Saba County. Constructed by Edward and Alfred Scholten from Holland, the line hauled cedar posts and piling to the Santa Fe line at Lometa for distribution to fast-growing west Texas. It employed 500 people, and its headquarters were located 100 yards west.
