Texas Electric Railway Station

Historical marker location:
901 E. 15th St., Plano, Texas
( Interurban Railway Museum)
Marker installed: 1990

Built in 1908 by the Texas Traction Company (Texas Electric Railway after a merger in 1917), this station served passengers and freight customers of the company's North Texas routes. The wood frame passenger depot and the attached brick freight/electric transformer section remained in use until 1948, when the rail system declined in favor of automobile travel. It is one of the few reminders of Plano's early 20th-century transportation history.

Recorded Texas Historic Landmark - 1990.
