Louisiana & Texas Lumber Company had opened the Eastern Texas as part of its efforts to exploit the timber acreage near Lufkin, Tex. Its main line connected Lufkin with Kennard, which had one of the largest pine sawmills around. Almost before they were delivered, the Moguls in this order went to the Houston County. Ultimately, the 5 reverted to its L & TL ownership and was sold to Peavey Byrnes Lumber. 6 took the same route, but was sold to Walker Lumber instead.
