"Whooosh," guess I can go back to sleep if it ain't the New Mexico line.----Jim ----- Original Message ----- From: dan hogan<mailto:hogan-4@sbcglobal.net> To: mo-stlouis-metro@rootsweb.com<mailto:mo-stlouis-metro@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, May 22, 2007 12:39 PM Subject: Re: [MO-STLOUIS-METRO] Railroads, St. Louis, 1860 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.
