History

A different team known as the Cleburne Railroaders played in the Texas League, where they won the 1906 championship.[2] The team won the 1911 Texas-Oklahoma League championship. The modern Railroaders were announced as an expansion franchise in the American Association on October 6, 2016.[3] The team plays in the Depot, a new $25 million stadium that was recognized as the National fan favorite Independent stadium in 2017.[4]

On June 12, 2020, it was announced that the Railroaders were one of six teams that would not be participating in the 2020 American Assocation season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. [5]
