Carlton Volunteer Fire-
Department, Inc. extends their
thanks and appreciation for the
wonderful support received during
their auction and BBQ supper
fundraiser held April 3,2004. The
generosity of the local, as well as
out of town donors and buyers
cannot be measured.
A big thank you also to Ray
Shipp who did an excellent job of
auctioneering and to the local and
area newspapers and radio stations
who publicized the event for us.
This event wouldn't be possible
without all the hard work and ded-
ication of all those behind the
scene workers that know who they
are. Thanks to you and keep up
the good work.

« built directly south through Seymour and Dublin on the edge ol Vvcm le -a-
jj to end at Rockport, on the Gulf. The line was said to "bust right
through the middle of Texas, thus it was called "The f
Middlebuster" after the plow that threw up dirt on both sides
of its furrow.
1 It was 500-miles long and was supposed to help Rockport
f get governmental help to create a water port.
| That was proposed in 1910 and some of the work got under-
way. building the "dump" which is the earthern roadbed on
which rails and tiers are laid. Some towns along the proposed
line already had begun surveying and grading in hopes of has
jf tening the coming of the rails.
However; in 1912, the situation in Europe worsened and the
| enterprise was abandoned. It was a real attempt to give dozens
/ of Texas towns access to a Gulf port. At
one time, Dublin had five depots, three
pictured, one of which is now a part of the
courthouse annex, one was destroyed by
derailed cars in 1972 and one is still in use
