This beautiful antique railroad map published by the Southern Pacific Company in 1891 depicts the Southern Pacific line and it's stops. The Southern Pacific Company was founded in San Francisco in 1865 by a group of businessmen led by Timothy Phelps, but it's origins lie in an earlier railroad system constructed by the Houston and Texas Central Railway. That company was chartered in 1848 by Ebenezer Allen of Galveston, but did not become active until 1852 when ground was broken by Paul Bremond and Thomas William House. The Railroad gradually expanded throughout Texas, reaching Austin and Corsicana in 1871 and Dallas in 1872. In 1873 the Railroad was linked with the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad "to form the first all-rail route from Texas to St. Louis and the East" (TSHA Online). The H&TC came under Southern Pacific Control in 1877, becoming the oldest railroad under that company’s control.
