MS 720 VIRGIL C. STAFF COLLECTION RG 1. WESTERN PACIFIC RAILROAD SUBGROUP 1. AUTHORITIES FOR EXPENDITURE

1910-1956. 16 linear feet All railroads had a system for approval of capital expenditures by senior officers or, in some cases, by the board of directors. On the Western Pacific this approval 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 depots, shops, and team tracks, to replace worn or obsolete equipment, 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 that started at 1 in 1910. Between December 26, 1917 when President Wilson assumed control of the nation's railroads under the United States Railroad Administration and March 1920, when control was returned to the railroads, some AFEs had a letter in front of the number.

After WWI the number reset to each year and was followed by the last two digits of the year in which the AFE was activated. For example, 155 42 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, a Chief Engineer's number, the date the AFE 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 yearly budget.

To be approved, an AFE was transmitted from the Department where it originated to the Western Pacific Railroad President, who presented it to the Board of Directors (if necessary) for approval. Once approved, the AFE was sent to the Treasurer, who was responsible for generating the funds.

The AFEs in the Virgil C. Staff Collection originated in the Engineering, Bridges and Roadway Department. Each AFE could be accompanied by correspondence, bills of lading, completion reports, record of material used and labor expended on the AFE, drawings or sketches, and specifications.

Western Pacific AFE files can also be found in the records of other 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, 1943-1981, Series 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 boxes 93 and 94.

CSRM Library maintains a database of WP AFEs which contains information about 375 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 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 merged into the Union Pacific and ceased to have its own AFE process.

The AFEs in the Virgil C. Staff Collection have been arranged into two series: 1. Western Pacific 2. Sacramento Northern

AFEs are arranged by year (second part of the AFE number) and then by project number (first part of the AFE number). Filing Location: Statewide Museum Collections Center ID 2825

MS 720 VIRGIL C. STAFF COLLECTION RG 1. WESTERN PACIFIC RAILROAD SUBGROUP 2. SUPERINTENDENT OF THE WESTERN DIVISION, OPERATING DEPARTMENT

1910-1965. 21.2 linear feet

Series 1. Correspondence These are the correspondence files of the Western Pacific Railroad’s General Superintendent’s Office of the Western Division, headquartered in Sacramento, California. The bulk of this correspondence dates from 1946-1954 when Glenn W. Curtis was superintendent.

These files are arranged into two subseries: Subseries 1: Local facilities and Northern California Extension Subseries 2. Engineering, Bridges & Roadway Department

Subseries 1: Local facilities and Northern California Extension

Local facilities files include: telegrams, mailgrams, letters, bulletins issuing general instructions to the transportation department, statements, reports, drawings and other materials in the General Superintendent’s office and exchanged with the Chief Engineer, the office of the superintendent of the Eastern Division, the Vice President and General Manager, and superintendents of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, Great Northern and Southern Pacific Railroads are included in these files. Some of the supporting documentation for AFEs can be found in the facilities files.

Maintenance of way, engineering and transportation issues pertaining to the Superintendent include: repair, inspections, cleaning and sanitation, plumbing and construction of depots, stations, water towers, icing platforms, roundhouses and yard offices, rails, rip rap projects and sidings and providing telegraph/ telephone service, indoor plumbing, retirement of spur tracks, leases and property sales. Includes a discussion with the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe railroads about a proposed Union Station in Stockton and the maintenance of joint trackage.

The files are not arranged to reflect the tenure of a specific general superintendent. Files maintained independently by a superintendent were considered personal record-keeping and are not included in these records.

The correspondence is listed according to location:

5000= Terminous Branch 6000= Carbona Branch 7000= San Jose Branch 8000= Northern California Extension 9000= Local facilities

The Local facilities files, in addition to the assignment of a 9000 number to indicate a geographic location (9 + three digit milepost number), also may include a two or three digit extension (usually a 300 series number specifying a roadway and structures topic). These files are arranged in numerical order.

Subseries 2. Engineering, Bridges & Roadway Department

The Engineering, Bridges & Roadway Department was responsible for building and maintaining the railroad’s track, roadway and structures. The maintenance of way function of the Department is: maintaining track, which includes inspection, and installing rail, ballast, ballast cleaning, ties, grade crossings, vegetation control, switches, tracks, signals, bridges, buildings and other structures. The Engineering Department is often in charge of design of new buildings, major projects, and new installations.

Correspondence includes: telegrams, mailgrams, letters, memoranda, maps, inspection reports, lists, invoices, time rolls, and forecasts. Prompted by complaints, housing inspections by the state Housing Commission led them to condemn WP treatment of Mexican workers in 1929 in terms of the provision of proper housing, and sanitation. Strict fines and even imprisonment were threatened if conditions did not improve. Western Pacific began regular inspection of employee housing; however, similar complaints on behalf of Mexican track workers emerged in 1943.

Other subjects include regular inspection and progress reports on buildings and bridges, steel rails, and ties. There were financial forecasts including costs of improvements and building material requisitions, repair and maintenance of fences, signs, bridges, culverts and ballast. These files include lists of culverts on the Reno Branch and the Northern California Extension. File 340.01 contains information about the patrol of track watchmen to discover rocks on the tracks or defective rails and how this responsibility was handed over to WP special agents worried about enemy sabotage during World War II.
