In 1895 a different kind of railroad car rolled into Texas,bringing the "good news" of the evangelical Gospel to transient railroad workers and far-flung communities alike.
A ministry to railroad men and their families lay at the heart of chapel car work, which over a period of fifty years saw thirteen rail chapel cars minister to thousands of towns, mainly west of the Mississippi.
