The San Antonio, Chapin and Rio Grande Railway (Chapin was later dropped from the name) connected the new county seat to the Valley's main rail line, the St. Louis, Brownsville, and Mexico Railway, at San Juan. Shown here, circa 1910, is the locomotive nicknamed "Flossie". Dick Huston, with the oil can, was the chief engineer. The photo may have been taken at the Chapin depot on what is now East University in Edinburg.
