Republic of Texas was a short-lived nation in North America that existed for a decade between 1836 and 1846.

There are many underground stations in the world that run underneath rivers.

There are very few where you can see where the river flows over the platform in a pipe.

But that is just what happens at Sloane Square Underground station, where the River Westbourne is carried across the platform and tracks in a large iron pipe supported by girders.
