I don't have Premium so can't upload a pdf image of A&M Campus circa 1919. Anyone interested in this Cushing Library image?

Thanks much for posting this for me Racer!

Really cool stuff indeed - like the Feeding and Breeding Experiment Station over by what is now F&B Rd.

Nice map - wish for my eyes it was a little clearer. Does any one know where they had cannon practice back in the day - probably before 1919 since tanks where the new thing after ww1.

I would guess it would be by parsons mounted Calvary is now in the military section (lower right hand corner) but that looks a little too small for cannons.

I like how the train comes off wellbourne and the. Goes right behind sibisa and then a separate line for downtown Bryan.
I collect ticket stubs! looking for a 1944 orange bowl and 1981 independence bowl ticket stub as well as Aggie vs tu stubs - 1926 and below, 1935-1937, 1939-1944, 1946-1948, 1950-1951, 1953, 1956-1957, 1959, 1960, 1963-1966, 1969-1970, 1972-1974, 1980, 1984, 1990, 2004, 2008, 2010

The spur track that you see going by Sbisa was to deliver coal to the central utility plant so they could fuel the boilers and make steam.

I called Cushing and was sent a jpeg that is a little clearer - very fast (same day!) response to my request - which was a non student and non faculty request. Shout out to the Archivist there!!

Forwarded the jpeg to Racer. Hope he posts it.

What was the line that left from there and headed north across what's now S College and through Bryan?

The Bryan-College Interurban Railway (1910-1923). First gas-powered and then electric trolley.

"The Bryan-College Interurban Railway (1910-1923). First gas-powered and then electric trolley."

The tracks were still visible down the middle of Cavitt Ave. in the early 80's. Also, an A&M professor who was born on campus told me cadets would take the trolley to meet up with their dates in Bryan, and have picnics at a cement pond of some sort which was located behind the old Shipwrecks.
