"Indebtedness of the National Railways of Mexico." File No. 081 N Ry M, Part 2. From (~1"). Discussion of interline issues, mostly of money owed to SPM by NRM. The SPM was the largest railroad in Mexico not under the umbrella of the NRM, but there was considerable interaction between the two because of the regular need to ship freight and passengers across each other's lines at times. Dollar amounts being discussed aren't trivial (anywhere from several thousand dollars up to nearly $100,000). [Items 1 and 2 are both contained in a single manila folder.]

"Indebtedness of the National Railways of Mexico." File No. 081 N Ry M, Part 4. More discussion of interline issues. It appears that this issue was satisfactorily resolved because the Mexican government either paid up or got on an acceptable payment schedule, but not without voluminous correspondence such as this.
