The Railroad Commission of Texas (RRC) had jurisdiction over the rates and operations of railroads, terminals, wharves and express companies. These records consist of a transcript of a Railroad Commission of Texas hearing, about 1900, held to consider the safety of i.e., the running of a train with two engines. Railroad employees and union officials objected to doubleheaders on the grounds of safety while railroad officials defended the use. The transcript is over 500 pages and consists entirely of witness testimony. There is no title page, conclusion, or date. doubleheaders,
