Description: The Texas & Pacific Railway Company (T&P) was a regional railroad serving four states - Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas. It began operations in 1871, and the intention was to extend the line west to California; this never happened, however. The Missouri Pacific Railroad (MP) gained control of the T&P through stock purchases in 1928, but the T&P operated separately until merged into the MP in 1976. The MP was eventually acquired by the Union Pacific (UP) in 1997 after years of legal wrangling. Surviving T&P trackage is now primarily operated by the UP. For auction is an employee pass from the T&P for the year 1935. It was issued to an officer of the Mexican Railway Company. 1935 T&P Texas & Pacific Railway employee pass - Mexican Railway Company Click images to enlarge Description The Texas & Pacific Railway Company (T&P) was a regional railroad serving four states - Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas.
