PROVENANCE Various donors HISTORICAL INFORMATION The Western Pacific Railway Company was in operation from 1903 (incorporated June 6, 1903) until it was reorganized and renamed the Western Pacific Railroad Company on June 6, 1916. WP lands stretched from the San Francisco Bay through California and Nevada to Salt Lake City, Utah, and north-south from the Feather River Canyon to near the Oregon line. Thus WP provided freight shippers in California and the Northwest an alternative to Southern Pacific Railroad Company, and provided travelers with comfortable and picturesque passenger trains, including the "California Zephyr." At the peak of its operation, Western Pacific Railroad Company and its subsidiaries had 1,266 miles of mainline track, 237 miles of secondary mainline and 216 miles of branch line. It provided employment for thousands. Western Pacific Railroad also actively encouraged industrial development in cities along its route, and was indirectly responsible for the city of Oakland regaining control of its waterfront from the Southern Pacific Railroad Company in 1905. CORPORATE HISTORY In the 1860s, a young Scottish surveyor, Arthur W. Keddie, dreamed of a transcontinental rail route across the California Sierras. With the help of San Francisco lawyer Walter J. Bartnett, and behind-the-scenes assistance from financier George J. Gould, Keddie was able to realize that dream decades later. The Western Pacific Railway Company was organized in San Francisco on March 3, 1903 and was incorporated on March 6, 1903, with Walter J. Bartnett as its first president. In 1905, George Gould appointed Edward T. Jeffery (then President of the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad) president of the Western Pacific Railway. Construction on a line between San Francisco and Salt Lake City began in the fall of 1905. Despite a court challenge by Southern Pacific to prevent construction, Western Pacific workers successfully erected a waterfront terminal at Oakland. On November 1, 1909, after a series of delays and cost overruns, the last spike was driven on the Spanish Creek bridge in the Feather River Canyon. This new line, known as the Feather River Canyon Route, was 924 miles long and included 41 steel bridges and 44 tunnels. It was significant because it was competitive with the Southern Pacific Overland Route, the original transcontinental route. It crossed the Sierra at 5,000 feet, a lower elevation than the Southern Pacific line’s 7,200 ft. elevation, and thus faced fewer problems with the weather. The Western Pacific grade, at 1%, and a 10% curvature, made navigation on this line easier than Southern Pacific’s. Through freight service on the Feather Canyon Route began on December 1, 1909 and passenger service commenced in August of 1910. Construction costs for the Feather River route were much higher than anticipated, and acute financial problems led to the bankruptcy and subsequent auction of the Western Pacific Railway Company on June 28, 1916. It was reorganized and renamed the Western Pacific Railroad Company. Shortly thereafter, in March 1917, the company acquired a 75% interest in the Tidewater Southern, which ran from Stockton to Turlock, California. During the 1920s the Western Pacific acquired additional lines and added new branches. For example, the San Jose Branch was completed in 1922. In 1923, Western Pacific entered into a contract with Pacific Fruit Express, jointly owned by Southern Pacific and Union Pacific to supply refrigerator cars to WP customers. During World War I, the federal government created the United States Railroad Administration which took control of all U.S. railroads operating in the United States. After being placed back into private hands in March 1920, the government awarded Western Pacific nine million dollars for damage caused to the railroad while under federal control. Western Pacific used this money to buy the Sacramento Northern Railroad (July 8, 1925) which ran between Sacramento and Chico. Western Pacific acquired the San Francisco-Sacramento Railroad at the end of 1928, merging it with the Sacramento Northern to form a continuous electric interurban railway from San Francisco to Oakland to Chico. In 1926, railroad financier Arthur Curtiss James acquired controlling interest in Western Pacific. He began renovating Western

HISTORICAL INFORMATION The Western Pacific Railway Company was in operation from 1903 (incorporated June 6, 1903) until it was reorganized and renamed the Western Pacific Railroad Company on June 6, 1916. WP lands stretched from the San Francisco Bay through California and Nevada to Salt Lake City, Utah, and north-south from the Feather River Canyon to near the Oregon line. Thus WP provided freight shippers in California and the Northwest an alternative to Southern Pacific Railroad Company, and provided travelers with comfortable and picturesque passenger trains, including the "California Zephyr."

It provided employment for thousands. Western Pacific Railroad also actively encouraged industrial development in cities along its route, and was indirectly responsible for the city of Oakland regaining control of its waterfront from the Southern Pacific Railroad Company in 1905.

CORPORATE HISTORYIn the 1860s, a young Scottish surveyor, Arthur W. Keddie, dreamed of a transcontinental rail route across the California Sierras. With the help of San Francisco lawyer Walter J. Bartnett, and behind-the-scenes assistance from financier George J. Gould, Keddie was able to realize that dream decades later.

Construction on a line between San Francisco and Salt Lake City began in the fall of 1905. Despite a court challenge by Southern Pacific to prevent construction, Western Pacific workers successfully erected a waterfront terminal at Oakland.

On November 1, 1909, after a series of delays and cost overruns, the last spike was driven on the Spanish Creek bridge in the Feather River Canyon. This new line, known as the Feather River Canyon Route, was 924 miles long and included 41 steel bridges and 44 tunnels. It was significant because it was competitive with the Southern Pacific Overland Route, the original transcontinental route. It crossed the Sierra at 5,000 feet, a lower elevation than the Southern Pacific line’s 7,200 ft. elevation, and thus faced fewer problems with the weather.

Pacific property and facilities. He authorized construction of a north-south line, from Keddie to Bieber, allowing Western Pacific to connect with the Great Northern Railroad at Bieber and the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway at Stockton. This through route from the Pacific Northwest to Southern California competed with a similar Southern Pacific route. On November 10, 1931, at Bieber, Arthur Curtiss James drove the final spike of what was came to be called the “Inside Gateway” or the Northern California Extension.

Western Pacific experienced more financial problems during the Depression, defaulting on its bond interest in March 1935. After a second reorganization, Western Pacific Railroad emerged from receivership (December 29, 1944). During World War II, both passenger and freight traffic increased substantially. Passenger traffic on Western Pacific Railroad received a boost when the "California Zephyr" was launched on March 20, 1949. A joint effort with Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad, and Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad, the luxurious "California Zephyr" provided passengers with exemplary service and the beautiful scenery of the Feather River Canyon.

In July 1949, Western Pacific Railroad Frederic B. Whitman became President. Although WP had purchased a few freight diesel locomotivse during World War II, it was not until 1949 that real progress was made in modernizing its motive power. By 1953 full dieselization had been attained. A freight car program aimed to increase car ownership with emphasis on special equipment and the upgrade of existing cars. A major bridge and tunnel improvements project was initiated as well.

During the 1950s, Western Pacific began to acquire more land, particularly in the San Francisco Bay Area. A finance company, Delta Finance, was created to fund Western Pacific Railroad land purchases. A holding company, Standard Realty & Development Company, was established to deal with real estate transactions and encourage development. The WP purchased land along its lines and developed it for industrial tenants. A major success was the Ford Motor Company to locate its assembly plant at the yard in Milpitas in 1954.

Competition with the trucking industry, which brought about a decline in revenue among all railroads, led to changes in the way railroads did business. Western Pacific responded by implementing a new marketing concept. Instead of allowing the operating department to determine when to run trains, they began listening to the shippers and tailoring freight schedules and equipment to customer demands. In addition, Western Pacific was a leader in the development of special purpose freight cars such as gondolas with cradles for steel coils, Compartmentizer Cars, new Car-Pac cars, and a new design of wood chip cars.

Piggyback service was another response to the challenge presented by the trucking industry. Western Pacific began hauling trailers on flat cars (TOFC) in 1954. In 1967, Western Pacific Railroad ended its contract with Pacific Fruit Express and became a member-owner of the Fruit Growers Express Company, which provided refrigerator cars and piggyback equipment to its WP freight customers.

In the late 1960s, Western Pacific experienced financial difficulty because weather related damages to the Feather River Canyon route disrupted service. Wages and prices increased substantially. At the same time, Western Pacific Railroad’s revenues from passenger service declined primarily due to the large inroads made by automobile and air travel. At its peak, revenue from passenger service represented only 4% of revenue. Once the "California Zephyr" began to lose money, Western Pacific applied to the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC), asking for permission to cease its passenger service. This permission was not immediately granted. Finally, on March 22, 1970, with ICC approval, Western Pacific passenger service ended, when the "California Zephyr" made its last westbound run into Oakland.

New management arrived in December 1970. Western Pacific Railroad President Alfred E. Perlman reversed the financial picture and Western Pacific was again profitable by 1971. Western Pacific Industries, Inc. was established as a holding company for Western Pacific Railroad and other operations. President Perlman and his successor, Robert G. Flannery, worked to improve marketing, operations, service and car supply and diversified Western Pacific holdings. In 1973, Western Pacific created its own transportation company, Western Pacific Transport Company (which was renamed WPX Freight System in 1980) to increase service to shippers by providing door-to-door delivery. In 1974, in an effort to further diversify its holdings, WP Industries acquired Veeder-Root Industries, a group of companies which manufactured such things as fasteners, components, plastics, counting and recording devices. WPX and Veeder-Industries were consistently profitable for WP Industries.

A new holding company, Newrail, was formed on February 13, 1978 and Western Pacific Railroad’s assets were sold to it on January 26, 1979. Western Pacific Railroad continued to operate as before. On January 21, 1980, Western Pacific and Union Pacific announced that they would be pursuing a merger. Western Pacific Railroad President Robert Flannery blamed “galloping fuel price increases, jumps in the cost of materials and contract wage costs, and increases in interest rates.” (Western Pacific Railroad Annual Report, 1979) In mid-October 1982, the Interstate Commerce Commission approved the merger, (which also included Missouri Pacific) and the Western Pacific Railroad Company ceased to exist as a corporate entity.

MS 43 WESTERN PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPANY RECORDS RECORD GROUP 1. OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENTRecord Group 1

1910-1984. 854 boxes + 7 half boxes + 1 oversize box

The Western Pacific Presidents’ Office Records represent the files of the Office of the President of the Western Pacific Railroad Company in San Francisco. Some of these files are photocopies of materials generated by or sent to other departments. The files are not arranged to reflect the tenure of a particular president. Files maintained independently by a president were considered personal record-keeping and are not included in these records.

This collection includes a great variety of manuscript material, including correspondence, memos, position papers, various reports, clippings, publications, authority for expenditures, speeches, legal briefs, maps and other materials generated as a result of business activities of the Western Pacific Railroad and the Presidents’ office between 1917 and 1984.

Pre-1940s records are scarce. There are gaps in the records. The only pre-1940s material appears to have been retained because it contained information about an ongoing project, a business relationship, corporate finances, tax assessments or information about subsidiaries.

The majority of the material from this collection was generated between 1957 and 1981. These records reflect Western Pacific’s post- World War II prosperity as a freight carrier, as well as its growing pains and attempts to solve financial and logistical problems. Considerable material about the operation and governance of the branch lines and subsidiary companies are also contained in these files.

In general, the WP Presidents' Files show which pressures inside and outside the company were important to the management and to its various departments over time. Who dealt with these issues, the corporate strategies they used and how these strategies were implemented is also documented. The primary goal of a for-profit company must be to increase revenue. Many strategies were developed by the company presidents and others to do this.

During the 1970s and 1980s, there were many railroad mergers. These mergers put a great deal of pressure on the Western Pacific Railroad, and these files reflect the reaction to these mergers, which culminated in the merger of Union Pacific Railroad and Western Pacific Railroad. Both the Southern Pacific Company and the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway competed to take over Western Pacific, but were unsuccessful.

Many relationships are documented in the collection: those within the company, with other companies, with government regulatory agencies, particularly the Interstate Commerce Commission, and the Association of American Railroads, is well-documented in these files. The relationship between Western Pacific and other transportation groups and associations is in evidence here. Western Pacific had a prominent presence in the community, and its participation in various community associations and organizations is visible in the Associations series.

SYSTEM OF ARRANGEMENTThe records of the Office of the President have been divided into the following series:1. ARTICLES2. ASSOCIATIONS3. BRANCHES AND SUBSIDIARIES4. CORRESPONDENCE5. EMPLOYEES6. EQUIPMENT7. FINANCE8. GOVERNMENT RELATIONS9. INSURANCE AND FIRE PROTECTION10. INTER-COMPANY RELATIONS11. LABOR RELATIONS12. LOCAL FACILITIES13. MAINTENANCE OF WAY AND STRUCTURES14. MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES15. MEDICAL DEPARTMENT16. PUBLIC RELATIONS17. RELATIONS WITH OTHER COMPANIES18. SPEECHES AND ADDRESSES19. STATISTICS20. TRAFFIC21. TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE22. YEARBOOKS23. HOLDING COMPANIES

Original order has been maintained with a few exceptions, noted in series descriptions. The WP Presidents’ Office records are arranged hierarchically, using a railroad classification system similar to the Dewey Decimal System, outlined in William Henry Williams' Railroad Correspondence File (1902). Williams’ classification system is designed to organize documents associated with particular railroad-related activities and subjects. Numerical values are assigned to each subject, and applied to any subsets of the subject.

While the series have been listed here in alphabetical order, the original hierarchical arrangement within all series has been retained. Chronological files are presented first, followed by subject files. Some subjects have been divided into chronological and subject files where size of file(s) warrant. More specific material about the subject / activity may be presented as a subset of the subject.

There is a twenty-five year restriction on access to all material in this collection.

MS 43 WESTERN PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPANY RECORDS RECORD GROUP 1. OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENTRecord Group 1

Series 3. BRANCHES AND SUBSIDIARIES

Includes correspondence, general memoranda, industrial transaction memoranda, maps of proposed sales of land and spurs, studies, reports, proposals, handwritten notes, agreements, brochures, resolutions, financial statements such as authorities for expenditures, income and expense estimates, announcements and minutes of board meetings, and contribution of revenue statements. There are also a few contracts and legal documents.

The documents in this series relate to the operation of Western Pacific Railroad branches and subsidiaries and their relationship with Western Pacific. These entities, owned by Western Pacific Railroad, often operated separately with their own Board of Directors and executive officers, although usually, WP executives held positions on subsidiary company boards. Branches were owned by and considered part of the WP Railroad. Subsidiaries included independently owned and operated railroads, until they were purchased by the WP. Other subsidiaries included companies bought by WP to facilitate real estate transactions, financing, and other forms of transportation.

This series also includes the Southern Pacific Paired-Track Agreement, and the "New Rail Proposal," which was a plan to sell Western Pacific Railroad assets to a newly-created company.

Subjects include: the sale of land to various individuals, companies, municipal, county and state governments, the purchase and sale of equipment, including the sale of Central California Traction's electric street railway passenger facilities to Sacramento City Lines in 1946, offers to purchase property, the leasing of facilities to various companies, including: Ford Motor Company, Coors Beer, Frito Lay, Tri Valley Growers, National Steel Corporation, Shell Oil Company, and Libby, McNeil & Libby Company. Other subjects include: the granting of easements, conveyances, and rights of way, capital improvements such as the construction of new loading facilities and warehouses, signals, signage, replacement of tracks, track realignment, abandonment of spurs, rerouting, transfer of intermodal ramping from Milpitas to Oakland, accidents, personal injury lawsuits, contact with the Interstate Commerce Commission, company finances such as budgets, expenses, income statements, and maintenance expenditures, notices of meetings, appointments, and resignations. There is a zone study for done in 1948, which reports on the carloads, tons, revenues and car miles for each of twelve zones. There is some correspondence relating to stocks and stockholders for Tidewater Southern.

Series 7. FINANCE AND ACCOUNTS

Series 7: Finance and Accounts is divided into 9 sub-series:1. General finance and accounts1.1 Annual reports to stockholders1.2 Financial statistics, stock and bond quotations1.3 Reorganization, bankruptcy, receivership, consolidation1.3.1 1915 Bankruptcy and reorganization1.4 Refunding, refinancing, issuance or exchange of bonds, preparation of mortgages and indentures, redemption, pledges under mortgages, indemnity bonds for issuance and delivery of securities and cash, debt reduction1.5 Equipment obligations1.6 Available net income1.7 General and refunding mortgages not having to do with bond issuance1.8 Sinking funds1.9 Stocks2. Finance3. Capital stock4. Loans and advances to company by outside agents5. Banking, funds, investments, government securities6. Payrolls, expense accounts, wages, salary deductions7. Budget, rehabilitations, improvement programs8. Accounting8.1 Bills and vouchers8.2 AFEs and capital expenditures, overruns8.3 Depreciation on deferred maintenance 8.4 Capital fund8.5 Reserves, general9. Earnings and expenses, general9.1 Income and expenses

This series includes memos, correspondence, reports, finance dockets, applications, exhibits, budgets, authority for expenditures (AFEs), legal documents, stock certificates, bonds, cost estimates, proposals, reorganization plans, schedules, resolutions, forms, statistics, stock and bond quotations, loan applications, proofs, opinion of counsel, invoices, circulars, equipment trust certificates, minutes, the “Black book” of Logan Paine, audits, accounting codes, progress reports, estimates, and forecasts.

Subjects include: the various methods WP employed to finance construction and capital expenditure such as: refunding, refinancing, issuance or exchange of bonds, preparation of mortgages and indentures, redemption, pledges under mortgages, indemnity bonds for issuance and delivery of securities and cash, and debt reduction by restructuring its debt to bring down the cash requirement for servicing the debt . Despite its best efforts, WP could not service its debts and filed for reorganization.

The financial ramifications of the bankruptcy of the Western Pacific Railroad, which began when the company defaulted on its bond interest due March 1, 1935 is also covered in this series. The Reconstruction Finance Corporation, which had already made loans to the Company in an effort to avert this outcome, participated in WP’s efforts to file an acceptable plan of reorganization. A three-year rehabilitation program was initiated in 1936 with R.F.C. funds, while the road was still under trusteeship.The WP filed a petition and plan for voluntary reorganization with the federal bankruptcy court under Section 77, providing for a two-thirds reduction in annual charges and a 50 per cent slash in capitalization. In 1944 the court finally approved a consensus plan which cut the fixed debt to a quarter of what it had been, and rendered the capital stock as virtually worthless.

Routine financial matters in these files deal with stocks and stockholders, payroll matters, equipment and improvement programs, the capital and operating budgets, AFEs and the mechanization of the accounting department. Accounting files include information about the transformation and mechanization of the accounting system, AFEs and capital expenditures and overruns, capital funds and reserves, earnings and expenses and incomes and expenses files.

MS 43 WESTERN PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPANY RECORDS RECORD GROUP 2. OFFICE OF THE TREASURERRecord Group 2

1906-1948. 21 boxes

The March 4, 1907 by-laws of Western Pacific Railway Company, Article IV, Sections 5, and 6 define the powers of the Treasurer to "collect and receive or provide for the collection and receipt of the moneys earned by or in any manner due or paid to or held by the Company," depositing such monies, maintaining a set of books showing the financial transactions of the Company, signing all checks and discharging other duties connected with the finances of the company.

The General Auditor's powers and duties, as outlined in Section 6, were to examine the books of the Company to determine that all accounts were returned and that only authorized payments were made. The General Auditor's office supervised the work of the Treasury. The July 1916 code of by-laws for Western Pacific Railroad Company, Article IV, Section 12, gave the General Auditor further responsibility for seeing that all appropriate financial reports were submitted to all public boards and commissions that are by law entitled to them, and that correct vouchers were made for all disbursements.

This series includes financial records of the Western Pacific and its predecessor and subsidiary companies, including general ledgers and journals, foreign roads ledgers, individuals and companies ledgers, passenger and freight ledgers, stock ledgers, journals, account books, vouchers and voucher registers. This record group also includes information used for valuation reports submitted to the Interstate Commerce Commission in 1914 and 1919.

See Record Group 10 : Office of the Secretary for a list of the predecessor and subsidiary companies.

The Western Pacific records are arranged alphabetically by volume title.

The predecessor and subsidiary company records are arranged alphabetically by railroad and then by volume title.

1910-1980. 85 boxes + 2 half boxes + 2 oversize boxes

The Western Pacific Railroad Public Relations Department was responsible for supervising and planning public relations, advertising special events and activities, and publicity for the railroad. The Public Relations Department was created in 1948. Its first head, Gilbert H. Kneiss, began his career with the Western Pacific in 1948 as Assistant to the President, Public Relations. His tenure is well-documented in this Record Group.

Earlier public relations functions had been carried out by the Western Pacific News Service.

For additional information about the Public Relations Department and its first department head Gilbert Harold Kneiss, see: MS 43 Western Pacific Railroad Collection, Record Group 1 : Office of the President, and MS 17 Gilbert Harold Kneiss Collection.

The Public Relations Department developed and implemented various filing systems. At first, all correspondence was filed chronologically. Beginning in 1950, WP began to utilize its own alpha-numeric classification system to organize its files. After 1954, the Public Relations Department filed all correspondence by subject.

The Public Relations Department records are incomplete.

Record Group 4: Public Relations Department Records is arranged into four series.

Series 1. CHIEF ENGINEER VIRGIL BOGUE'S FILES

This series includes: contracts for the construction of the main line with the Utah Construction Company, Pacific Coast Construction Company, and others. These files also include an application to the ICC to construct lines to Fresno, and some clippings reacting to the decision.. Also includes the 1905-1907 incoming and outgoing correspondence of the Chief Engineer Virgil G. Bogue and the correspondence of Division Engineer Emory Oliver with Bogue.

The Chief Engineer’s responsibility, outlined in the March 4, 1907 by-laws of Western Pacific Railway Company, Article IV, Section 11, was to "have direction of the construction work of the Company." The Chief Engineer was also responsible for supervising and conducting surveys of possible routes, establishing locations, monitoring and assisting in right-of-way issues with landowners, supervising and drawing up plans for construction of terminals, stations, bridges, tunnels, track, signals and generating proposals for branches and extensions and the maintenance of roadways. The Chief Engineer reported to President and the Board of Directors.

In 1905, Virgil G. Bogue became Vice President and Chief Engineer. He held this position during the early construction of the railroad until his retirement was announced by WP President Edward T. Jeffery on February 3, 1910. Bogue had previously worked for Union Pacific Railroad as a civil engineer in the 1880s.

See also MS 17 Gilbert Harold Kneiss Collection, Series 1 for additional Virgil G. Bogue correspondence.

Series 2. CONSTRUCTION DEPARTMENT

This series has been divided into the following subseries:Subseries 1. Progress profile ledgersSubseries 2. PayrollSubseries 3. InventorySubseries 4. Application to the Interstate Commerce Commission to construct line to Fresno

Subseries 1. Progress profile ledgersSMCC I2.300.L6Created by the Western Pacific construction department to show in cross-section (profile) format the progress of construction of the main line between 1906 and 1909. Each cross-section is color-coded to show monthly progress (a different color used for each month). These profiles show the gradient of the line, the cuts and fills used to maintain the required 1% maximum grade, bridges and trestles, and tunnel boring progress. Most profiles also show a straight line track plan with sidings. Construction sections are indicated along with detailed engineering stations and mileposts. They show not only actual progress of construction, but in graphic form what they were doing and how much of it was done. May have been useful if there was any disagreement with a construction company over what they had accomplished.

Each construction division engineer provided work progress information to the Chief Engineer's office which in turn prepared one or more ledgers for his division. Division engineers include: Emery Oliver (North Fork Division), J.T. Williams (San Francisco Division), T.J. Wyche and Charles Harlowe (Salt Lake Division) and J.Q. Jamieson (Sierra Division).

These ledgers are arranged in chronological order by ledger number and by construction section number. The series is incomplete. Ledgers 39, 40, and 41 show the progress of tunnel construction, and ledger 42 shows a pipeline built to distribute water.

Subseries 2. PayrollThis series includes several report forms filled out by the Construction Departments of Deep Creek Railroad, Tidewater Southern Railway, and the Western Pacific Railroad.

Deep Creek Railroad Time Rolls (form 169) were completed and submitted monthly to the Western Pacific Railroad Company by the Roadway Department of the Deep Creek Railroad.

Information on Time Roll forms includes: names, occupations, time rates, amounts and kind of work done each day. Reports from 1922-1928 in Sections 2 -- Salt Springs, Section 3 -- Erickson and Durilaf (?) Utah and Section 4 -- Gold Hill are included in this series.

Western Pacific's Engineering, Bridges & Roadway Department completed forms include Pay Rolls (form 13), which document payment for services rendered during construction to individuals from various offices and employees such as a draftsman, engineer, surveyor, cook, tax agent, and clerk.

Other forms filled include Time Rolls (form 510) with information about Western Pacific's Construction Department employees, including names, occupations, hours worked, hourly and monthly wages, payroll deductions, and gross earnings. Distribution of Labor (form 514) reports list specific projects and monthly total man hours worked on each project. Time Rolls and Distribution of Labor Forms include employees working in San Francisco, Stockton, Lodi, Oakland, Pleasanton, Portola, Niles, Livermore, Lathrop, Keddie, Big Bar, Sloat, Twain, Spring Garden, Rock Creek, Virgilia, Rich Bar, Blainsden, Beckwith, Belden, Chilcoot, Red Rock and Tobin. Reports date from December 1909 to February 1910.

Reports are arranged alphabetically by railroad, then by form number.

Subseries 3. InventoryTidewater Southern submitted Section Foreman's Monthly Material Reports (form 170) to the Western Pacific Railroad. These reports list an inventory of material on hand available to fix or repair the rails, track, or road. The report accounts for material acquired, used or disposed of during the month. Many of these reports have abstract journal entry vouchers attached. This series includes the May 1919 report.

The Roadway, Bridge Building, Transportation, Labor and Material Reports show the breakdown of expenses to be applied to the Roadway Material Account. Reports from May 1919 to December 1925 are included. A partial page of the May 1919 Charges Out of Materials and Supplies report is also included with the Tidewater Southern forms.

Subseries 4. Application to the Interstate Commerce Commission to construct line to FresnoAnother file contain Western Pacific’s application to the Interstate Commerce Commission for the construction of lines to Fresno, and some news clippings containing reactions to the Interstate Commerce Commission decision.

Series 1. AUTHORITIES FOR EXPENDITURE

This series has been divided into 2 subseries:1. Authorities for Expenditure2. Indexes to Authorities for Expenditure

1. Authority for Expenditure (AFE), AFEs 1 box + 1 file cabinet. 1915-1921, 1967-1983Consists of capital expenditures by senior officers or, in some cases, by the board of directors. On the Western Pacific this process was known as Authority for Expenditure (AFE). Department heads, senior officers, the President, or the Board of Directors would propose capital expenditures as necessary to build new structures and other facilities such as team tracks, or to replace worn or obsolete equipment or to upgrade track and structures, to buy locomotives and passenger cars. Each item or project was assigned an AFE number by the Finance or Accounting Department.

On the WP, the AFE number was a serial number beginning at 1 each year, followed by year in which the AFE was activated. For example, 155-1942 refers to the 155th project in 1942. The department proposing the expense would prepare a brief description to go with the AFE number. Each AFE number would have a corresponding file where project details and progress would be noted, including dates of commencement and completion.

An AFE may include the following information: an AFE number, a CMO (Chief mechanical officer’s) number, the date it was approved, the date the project began, when it was completed, the location, and the project description. WP AFEs and Southern Pacific GMOs had the same function: to briefly describe a project or capital expenditure and to justify its inclusion in the budget for the year.

To be approved, an AFE had to go from the Department which originated it to the President, who presented it to the Board of Directors for approval. Once it was approved, the AFE was sent to the Treasurer, who was responsible for generating the funds to pay for it.

Western Pacific AFE files can be found in the records of different departments including:

MS 43 RG 1 THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT:Series 3. Branches and Subsidiaries, Sacramento Northern, 1966-1967, and WPX Freight System, 1979-1982,Series 7. Finance and Accounts, Budget, 1959-1980 and AFEs and capital expenditures, overruns, 1943-1981Series 12. Local facilities, Salt Lake City Union Depot & Railroad, 1958-1960

MS 43 RG 2 THE OFFICE OF THE TREASURER, Additional AFEs for the years 1915-1921 can be found in MS 43 RG 2, boxes 93 and 94.

There is also a database of WP AFEs at the CSRM Library. It contains information about 379 WP Authority for Expenditure files in chronological order in the cabinets in the back room at Port St. They include AFEs issued from 1967-1983, pertaining to acquiring, building, applying, capitalizing, constructing, converting, installing, purchasing, and retiring: freight cars, locomotives, and shops machinery for the Stockton Diesel Shop, the Sacramento Shops and the Elko, Nevada Car Shop.

The Virgil Staff Collection (MS 720) includes Western Pacific AFEs, 1910-1956 and Sacramento Northern, 1925-1951 AFEs for the Engineering, Bridges and Roadway Department.

The fields in the WP AFE database are:

AFE numberThis field contains the first number of the two-part AFE number. Each item or project was assigned an AFE number by the Finance or Accounting Department.

AFE number pt 2This field contains the second number of the two-part AFE number.

CMO numberThis field may contain the number assigned to a preliminary project proposal by the Chief Mechanical Officer. If the proposal was accepted, the project would be assigned an AFE number. An AFE file may include a CMO number, an AFE number, or both.

Corporate nameThis field contains the principal corporate name attached to the AFE or CMO, the Western Pacific Railroad.

Other corporate nameThis field contains subsidiary companies listed after the principal corporate name such as WP Transport and Sacramento Northern.

Earliest dateThis field contains the year the AFE number was assigned. Since the field AFE number pt 2 also includes this information, this field is only useful when the file doesn’t have an AFE number.

TitleThis field contains the name given to the project. The title, usually found on the front page of the AFE file, includes information about the action to be taken and the equipment.

Geographic locationThis field contains information about where the project would take place. Projects could be assigned to a division, a city, or WP shops (in Sacramento, Stockton, or Elko).

Filing locationThis field contains storage location information. Entries in this database say Port St.

2. Indexes to Authority for Expenditure Files, 16 boxes, 1910-1983As projects were assigned AFE numbers, the department which had charge of the project would prepare index cards to keep track of projects. Managers and clerks would refer to the index cards to find the AFE files for review or document filing. Some indexes would be arranged by station or location, and others by year assigned or by project type. Individual departments would prepare their own indexes for their own purposes. It is important to note that a project having an AFE number might be cancelled or postponed depending on availability of funding or last minute change of plans. This would be noted on the index cards in most but not all cases. Some AFEs would be carried over to following years under the same number. AFEs approved toward the end of the year would of necessity be completed in the following year.

The WP maintained indexes to the AFEs in various formats and in various offices between 1910 and 1983. Before 1910 the railroad was considered to be under construction and there were no AFEs. After 1983, WP was merged into the Union Pacific and ceased to have its own AFE process.

The AFE index cards in the CSRM collection were maintained by several departments and are in either 5x7 or 4x5 card format. These cards were stored in the Stockton warehouse after 1983 as Union Pacific no longer had a use for them. There are two 5x7 sets and one 4x5 set arranged alphabetically by location (generally by station name). There is one 5x7 set arranged by year of authorization. There is one 5x7 set that appears to have been maintained by the Chief or Division Engineer and is arranged by project category. There is a mixed set of 5x7 and 4x5 cards for locations and projects on the Sacramento Northern, a WP Subsidiary.
