Everything is bigger in Texas — except when it’s the shortest. That’s the story of Fred Hudson Guffy Sr. and his six-mile-long Belton Railroad, hailed during its lifetime as the shortest rail line in Texas, but, no doubt, one with the most school spirit. Thanks to a $1.4 million federal grant, the Belton Railroad will live again — this time only for hikers and bikers. Although no one can verify that the Belton Railroad was really the shortest short-line in Texas during its lifetime, no one doubted the Belton Railroad’s audacious spirit. Holding the distinction as Texas’ shortest line ever was the 1.51-mile Acme Tap Railroad that operated in Hardeman County from 1899 to 1938.
