Railroad Contracts (1857 - 1884) contain records concerning the contractual agreements between Texas and railroad companies. Files include legal documents, reports, receipts, correspondence and field notes. These files contain materials and include descriptions of the work to be done and where it was to be located. In addition, materials regarding disputes over proper completion of the project are located here.
Specific items included in almost all files are contract agreements, appointments, oaths and bonds of surveyors, survey field notes of the project location and inspection reports. The inspection reports are generally quite detailed and often include an itemized breakdown of expenses of the project. Some of the Railroad Contracts contain detailed and useful information about the construction of the railroad lines including descriptions of track materials, initial rolling stock and initial operations.
