Memphis, El Paso
& Pacific |
| This road was chartered in 1853 to
run from a point on the Red River to El Paso, Texas. Construction began
in 1857. Though 65 miles of
grading had been completed when the war began, only one shipment of
rails (5 miles worth) had arrived. Additional rails were seized by the
Confederate government before they arrived on site and were forfeited to
the Confederate Government when the road could not pay the import
duties.. |
