hq_city=Lone Star, TXThe Texas and Northern Railway reporting mark|TN is an eight-mile (13 km) railroad connecting Lone Star, Texas, to the former Louisiana and Arkansas Railway, now a line of the Kansas City Southern Railway, between Daingerfield and Hughes Springs. When it started operations in 1948 to serve the Lone Star Steel Company (coord|32.92|N|94.72|W|), of which it is a wholly owned subsidiary, the revenue cutoff for a Class I railroad was $1 million, and the Texas and Northern made just more than that per year. Thus, until 1956, when the cutoff was raised to $3 million, the Texas and Northern was an eight-mile railroad in the same class as giants like the New York Central Railroad and Pennsylvania Railroad. Operations have continued to the present day, as Lone Star Steel is still in operation.
