San Antonio and Mexican Gulf Railroad
The San Antonio and Mexican Gulf Railroad (SA&MG) was a railroad set up in 1850 to connect the city of San Antonio to the Gulf of Mexico. The railroad survived the Civil War and merged with the Indianola Railroad into the Gulf, Western Texas and Pacific Railway in 1871.
==History of the road==
The SA&MG was chartered on September 5, 1850, with plans to connect Port Lavaca, Texas to San Antonio. Trackwork began in 1856, and a line was completed to Victoria, Texas in April, 1861, when the Civil War broke out. Among the founders of the railroad were German-born railroad engineer Gustav Schleicher and Joseph E. Johnston who was an army officer stationed in San Antonio, who would later be a General in the Confederate army.〔(''Handbook of Texas Online''. Texas State Historical Association. )〕
To facilitate the construction of a railroad from the Gulf to San Antonio, the SA&MG received of land from the State.〔( ''History of Texas Railroads'' by Mr. R. A. Thompson, engineer of the Texas Railroad Commission. Remarks delivered at Texas Academy of Science on December 27-29, 1905. )〕
