1910s
Although J. Garland Pegues had established the City Garage (later Pegues-Hurst Ford), all roads leading in and out of Longview remained dirt wagon tracks. Railroads continued to be the city's lifeline. In 1910, there were 18 daily passenger trains. Beginning in 1911, Longview's rail center image was boosted with formation of a fourth line, the Port Bolivar & Iron Ore railroad. The Santa Fe took over the line in 1914. Decades later, the PB&IO right-of-way within Longview was developed as Cargill Long Park.| HM Number | HM1ODG |
