Tomball Railroad Depot Payroll

Lost Treasure TX • Harris County County
Description
Tomball legend of unrecovered railroad payroll strongboxes along the Houston & Texas Central and Trinity & Brazos Valley depots — a northwest Harris County rail hub from the oil and lumber era.
Historical Notes
Tomball (originally Peck) grew around railroad depots serving lumber mills and later oilfield supply lines northwest of Houston. The Tomball Railroad Depot (1907) preserves the town's H&TC heritage. Central Texas rail-town treasure lore places bandit caches near section houses and cotton platforms. Tomball appears in northwest Harris County compilations tied to Reconstruction-era holdups. Coordinates mark downtown Tomball along the historic depot district.
Status / Verification legend — Legendary or approximate
