The Denison Daily News
March 11, 1873

Monday evening, March 10, at 7 o'clock, the first train on the Texas Central Railroad came puffing into the city and stopped at the foot of Main Street. A large crowd of people were present to witness the event, made memorable from the fact that with the connection of this road with the M. K. & T. Ry., the extreme South is united with the North, East and West.
No sppeches were made, no poor whisky was drank, but everyone present fully comprehended the magnitude of the vents, and saw therein a prophecy of the commercial greatness in store for Denison and the magnificent State that gave her birth.
