Caption: Granite blocks from derailments at Waters Park
Additional Description: As described in the Handbook of Texas Online, the Austin and Northwestern Railroad, which passes here, was used to transport granite blocks from Granite Mountain near Burnet to the Austin construction site of the new state Capitol. Large granite blocks still lying in the railroad right-of-way testify to derailments at Waters Park.
