It is unlikely that NM stands for New Mexico, as it was a territory at the time and did not have any rail roads. I also noticed that the MO-Pacific RR is not mentioned, could the P. R.R. possibly be the MO-Pacific RR? This would have been the main East-West line extending to meet the RR coming out from CA; recall the great race they had to see which line could lay the most track.
