I am looking for any photos of the old Burlington “Doodlebug” passenger train that operated on the Wichita Valley Railroad between Wichita Falls and Abilene up until 1949. I would appreciate any help on this.
We do not have any here. I would possibly visit the Anson Museum, it’s opened on Saturdays from 8am-12pm. Or if you have a facebook, you can ask on the “A View From the Crossroads” page if anyone has any!
This is a bit late (2023). No photos but a solid memory of riding the doodlebug from Anson to Wichita Falls in 1949. I was six years old. My mother and I were on our way to Denver to visit our aunt. My first train ride. I believe there was only one old passenger car. At Wichita Falls we transferred to another world, a huge train with many passengers and soft seats. Then came Colorado . . . .

When was the post office built?
Do you have the history of the house at 1231 12th St., Anson, TX. It is historical supposedly and I would like to know it’s history.
