The Railroad Commission of Texas (RRC) had jurisdiction over the rates and operations of railroads, terminals, wharves and express companies. The Railroad Commission, at the request of the federal Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC), would often hear cases for the ICC (or jointly with the ICC) involving applications for certificates of public convenience and necessity and would recommend to the ICC whether or not to grant the application. The Railroad Commission interaction with the ICC was through the Main Office (later Main Office and Rate Division, then Main Office and Transportation Division, then the Transportation Division). These records are detailed construction valuation reports of two railroad branch lines built by the Panhandle and Santa Fe Railroad in 1926 and 1927. One line was from Panhandle, Texas to Borger, Texas and the other from White Deer, Texas to Skellyton, Texas.
