From About three-quarters of a linear inch. Request to transform what were apparently telegraph stations -- temporary quarters -- at Paredones [and previously also Cocopah] -- into permanent quarters due to "extreme heat, increasing business handled, and importance of the station in operation of the Inter-California Railway Line in Mexico." Second-to-last item in packet details freight revenue from shipments handled at Paredones for both the ICR and the SPM for the years 1921-1924. 1924 saw a BIG increase for both lines. E.G. Burdick was the general manager of the Compania del Ferrocarril Inter-California. [Headquartered in Mexicali??] In any event, this file contains discussion and some dissention between Shoup and Burdick about the value and need to improve the station, esp. at Paradones. [see for example letter from Burdick to Shoup dated 2/27/24]. This file also lists detailed freight tonnages in pounds, as well as dollar amounts made, for 1921-1923. Sounds like they agreed to go ahead with smaller station as a compromise. Some discussion of earthquake danger in the area
