Train Trouble
College Station is about to lose its daytime railroad
service if the Texas Railroad Commission grants Southern
Pacific the authority to stop the “Sunbeam” trains.
The Sunbeam, which runs between Dallas and Houston,
with two stops at College Station, is the only daytime passen
ger train in this area. The northbound and southbound
night trains will still be around, but not many people will be
too happy about going south around 4 a.m. or north around
1:30 a.m.
The railroad company has a reason for asking for re
moval of the Sunbeam trains. The trains have piled up
heavy losses over the past several years, they say.
The passenger traffic has switched to bus, airplane and
private automobile, complains the company.
On the other side of the fence, the people who will be
affected if the trains are removed also have a cause to com
plain.
One of the biggest complaints would probably come from
A&M students who are used to having their girlfriends
come here via rail.
Whatever is decided, and it will be up to the Texas
Railroad Commission, both sides of the fence must be looked
behind. When looking at the company’s figures of losses,
the Commission should keep in mind efficiency and type of
service rendered. And the validity of the passengers’ argu
ments against removal of the trains must be weighed.
The Commission should set their sights on a fair decis
ion, and keep going toward that decision.
And on that decision will rest the fate of how some of
us will be going and coming.

shoulders.
“When it became known through
out Mississippi that I had decided
to accept the presidency many pro
tests were sent to me and many
of my friends called and insisted
that I spend the balance of my
days at home. I finally yielded and
declined the presidency with re
gret.”
President Davis, at the sugges
tion of the board of directors, pre
sented the name of Thomas S.
Gathright for the presidency of the
college. Gathright was at that
time superintendent of public in
struction in Mississippi. He was
elected and became the first presi
dent of Texas A&M—taking office
in 1876.
