NP, GDC 1/4/1861

From the Galveston Daily Civilian
 
January 4, 1861
 
   The bark Hanson, Gregory, arrived yesterday, from Bristol, England, with 2,492 iron rails, for the Tyler road {Houston, Trinity & Tyler RR}. The whole is consigned to Messrs. Kauffman & Kisener.
{If the rails were 24 feet long each, this would provide enough rail for 5.6 miles of track, both rails.}
