The "Dinky" at work on the Caro R.R.

In 1894, the Caro Northern Railway Company was chartered and operated as a logging road sixteen and one-half miles between Mt. Enterprise and Caro (Nacogdoches County). This became to be known as the "spur." This spur terminated in the vicinity of where the present town exists. The purpose of the spur was to accommodate a big sawmill and planer established by two lumbermen by the names of  Whiteman and Decker. The first passengers were able to use this line in November 1906. March and Ross moved their general merchandise store from "old town" to a location near the depot The citizens then voted to move the town off of the "mount" to where it exists today. They call this new place the "new Mount Enterprise and the other "old Mount Enterprise." This railroad was abandoned in 1934. But by then "old town" was a thing of the past and all that remains today is the "Old Town Cemetery."
