1 cancelled share of Fort Worth & Rio Grande Railway Company cert. # 519 issued to E. N. Brown issued Dec 4, 1919. Assigned. Signed by J. A. Hamilton, VP. Brown border with raised company seal. Vignette of Railroad in station. Adhesive RN stamp on back. Fort Worth and Rio Grande Railway, chartered under the laws of Texas on June 1, 1885, was part of a plan conceived by Buckley Burton Paddock and others to create a transcontinental route linking New York, Fort Worth, and the Pacific port of Topolobampo, which they believed would stimulate the growth and development of southwest Texas in general, and the economy of Fort Worth in particular. With financial backing from the Vanderbilt railroad syndicate, construction began at Fort Worth in Nov., 1886. Proceeded slowly with many changes of route, reaching Granbury (only 40 miles away) a year later, Comanche in 1890, and Brownwood, 144 miles from Fort Worth, in 1891.
