The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway Company (AT&SF) was founded by Cyrus K. Holiday in Kansas in 1859. By 1888 the railroad stretched from Chicago to the West Coast and was seeking to tap Texas and Gulf Coast markets. The AT&SF expanded into these markets by purchasing the ten railroads: Beaumont Wharf and Terminal Company; Cane Belt Railroad; Concho, San Saba and Llano Valley Railroad; Gulf and Interstate Railway; Gulf, Beaumont and Great Northern Railroad; Gulf, Beaumont and Kansas City Railway; Jasper and Eastern Railroad; Port Bolivar Iron Ore Railroad; Texas and Gulf Railway; and the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railway. This collection is comprised of mixed deed records, oil and gas leases, correspondence, standard plan books, manuals, and maps.
