I&GN-MoPac Railroad Station (Kilgore, Texas) Historical marker for the I&amp;GN-Missouri Pacific Railroad Station in Kilgore, Texas. The plaque states:

The Kilgore I&amp;GN-Missouri Pacific Railroad Station - The town of Kilgore was platted by the International Railroad Company after it purchased land for a townsite from C. B. &quot;Buck&quot; Kilgore, who had donated a 200-foot railroad right-of-way in 1871. Kilgore, a resident of Danville (4 mi. E), recognizing the economic opportunities afforded by the railroad, soon built a new home near the station. Many other Danville citizens followed Kilgore's lead, and a community was established and named for him. This railroad station was completed in 1872 to provide passenger and freight service and to serve as a communications center for this agricultural and lumbering area. In 1931 oil was discovered in what became known as the East Texas Oil field, and the volume of shipments from the Kilgore station increased dramatically. Later, World War II provided the depot with a steady stream of troop trains. The rail line became known as the Missouri Pacific in 1956. As automobile, bus, and air travel became more popular, rail traffic decreased, and in 1977 the Kilgore station was closed. The depot stands today as a reminder of the significant role rail transportation played in the growth and development of Kilgore and East Texas.

I&GN-MoPac Railroad Station (Kilgore, Texas) The International-Great Northern Railroad (I&amp;GN) built this station in 1872. The I&amp;GN was later acquired by the Missouri Pacific Railroad (MoPac). The station closed in 1977.
