While travelling on I-20 between Abilene and Ft Worth, TX the highway crosses over the abandoned R-O-W of the Eastland, Wichita Falls & Gulf on the east side of Eastland, TX.  It was certainly a surprise to recently see new track being built on this very old R-O-W.  In the middle of the screen shot the R-O-W can be seen along with existing overpass infrastructure.  As of today, the track looks completed and features bell crossings with gates on the frontage roads.  Without knowing any details it appears to be a spur track on the UP (north of I-20) servicing a quarry on the south side of the highway.  ¿quien sabe?EWF&G

The EWF&G has a listing in the 1930 Official Guide of the Railways.
