America 250

MARSHALL, Texas - As we approach the 250th anniversary of America, KTBS 3/KPXJ CW 21 continues to celebrate this history of our nation.

Marshall, Texas became a major railroad town in the 1870s when Texas and Pacific Railways built their headquarters here. The TNP shops brought jobs, growth, and helped connect East Texas to the rest of the country.
