Description
The Texas and Pacific Railway Company was the only railroad in Texas, and one of the few in the United States, to operate under a federal charter, granted in 1871. The Texas and Pacific was given the right to lay track from Marshall, Texas, to San Diego, California and played a crucial role in the expansion of the vital young state. Texas fascinated people across the United States and overseas looking for new opportunities and a chance for a better way of life in the rich vast lands of the legendary southwest.
