They filmed on the main street of Crandall, in front of the then U.S. Post Office. There were shots of the Crandall Train Depot. They also filmed in the Crandall Cemetary. > >I have a copy of this episode and have been trying to match up the scenes in the episode, with present day Crandall. > >The depot, heck, even the railroad tracks are gone.

I think it is what is now called County Road 4124. It parallels the old RR track roadbed. I matched up an old concrete bridge that crosses a creek when entering the town from the north. > >Currently this road dead ends. My question is; in 1960, did this road cross the East Fork of the Trinity and link up with a road in Combine? Seems odd for them to build a nice two lane concrete road back then, just to have it end at the Crandall city limits. The RR tracks crossed the East Fork back then and I wonder if the road did also. > >If you can answer this, or if you have any memories of the filming of this TV show in Crandall, please feel free to email me. > >macredoak@aol.com > >Thanks for reading this. > >P.S.
