Gulf and Ship Island Railroad : ウィキペディア英語版 | Gulf and Ship Island Railroad
The Gulf and Ship Island Railroad was constructed in the state of Mississippi, USA, at the turn of the 20th century to open a vast expanse of southern yellow pine forests for commercial harvest. In spite of economic uncertainty, entrepreneurs William H. Hardy and Joseph T. Jones successfully completed railroad construction. The railroad resulted in the development of a seaport and expansion of cities along its route. == Railroad charter == The Gulf and Ship Island Railroad (G&SIRR) was developed under three charters provided by the Mississippi State Legislature.〔(Gulf and Ship Island Minute Book, 1887-1907 )〕 The first charter was given in 1850, followed by a second in 1856. The second charter expired and lapsed for 31 years, because of the American Civil War and Reconstruction. The state legislature validated a third charter in 1887.
