In manila folder. "Tract of land known as 'Sierra Navachiste,' at Topolobampo, Mexico." 311-973, Part 1. [Formerly Old File No. 2726]. Note on cover indicates that old file on "Pacific City Terminal and Contracting Company" is numbered 2726-3. About 25 pieces. Details this 60,000 acre property near Topolobambo, on the ocean, owned by the SPM and connected to the main line via the Kansas City, Mexico and Orient RR. Early material dating back to legendary SP President E.H. Harriman and the Sonora Railway. Harriman instructed someone [Kruttschnitt?] to buy the land on the bay, as it was a deepwater port, for SP use. It was finally abandoned in 1935 since SPM wasn't using it at all and also because of the momentum of Cardenas' land redistribution laws (the property was partly occupied by "agrarians" in 1935.)
