Railways
The Galveston, Harrisburg, & San Antonio Railroad
"In 1868, it changed owners and became the Galveston, Harrisburg, & San Antonio Railroad. More tracks were then laid towards San Antonio and the new owners also constructed the first telegraphs along the route. After reaching San Antonio, the road was continued to El Paso, where it met the Southern Pacific Railroad and insured that the line’s transcontinental route would use the southern portion of Texas rather than the north. The railroad itself used the nickname Sunset Route, a name that was in general use by 1874 and was later adopted by the Southern Pacific Railroad for the entire line between New Orleans and Los Angeles, California. As early as 1878 the railroad reached an agreement with the Southern Pacific Railroad, regarding the expansion of the Galveston, Harrisburg and San Antonio west of San Antonio. The two companies met up in January 1883 with a silver spike driven just west of the Pecos River to mark the completion of a new transcontinental route across Texas." read more
