Also present: 1 drawing and 2 copies of drawings of stations; 4 portfolios of plans and watercolor drawings of proposed stations (including Oroville and Yuba City, Calif.) and 2 bound multi-panel technical drawings of railroad trestle systems. One of these plots grades and technical details along the S.P. of A. Yuma to Adonde reconstruction, 1892.
