Railroad station

AIRED: Season 1, Episode 7
THE DETECTIVE: Gwen Wright
THE PLACE: Dallas, Texas

THE CASE:

150 years ago, much of Texas was just desolate prairie country.

Then one day out of this barren landscape, Dallas was born. Big business, big ambition, big city.

A local historian calls in the history detectives to find out if a disused depot was the first railroad station in Texas and if it was responsible for putting Dallas on the map.
