摘要

This reference information paper describes records relating to railroads housed in the Cartographic Section of the National Archives at College Park, in College Park, Maryland. The records include cartographic records, architectural and engineering drawings, and aerial photographs relating to railroad equipment, tracks, and property. These records focus primarily on the United States, although there is widespread coverage of countries and regions worldwide. The dates of these records range from 1828 to 2009. Foreign coverage dates mostly from the early to mid 20th century. The records described include more than 215 series of records in 69 record groups. Additional railroad records are housed in other National Archives offices in the Washington, DC, area, as well as the regional records facilities and Presidential libraries administered by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). Origins of Railroad Records The Federal Government has been linked to railroads since the first charters were issued in the United States during the 1810s and 1820s. Army surveyors from the Corps of Engineers were involved in the surveying and construction of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, the first operational railroad in the United States. Although no records remain of this work in the Cartographic Section of the National Archives, many survey maps do remain of other early railroads. These include records created by the Corps of Engineers as part of internal improvements carried out by the Federal Government during the 1830s.
