Eugene Pellette was born in 1946 and died December 21, 1994. He had
researched and worked on a report on the Fort Worth and Denver South Plains
Railway Company. Today, portions of the abandoned track have been converted to
the Caprock Canyons Trailway. The trail comprises 64 miles along the former
rail line from Estelline in Hall County to South Plains in Floyd County,
