He worked as assistant to the general superintendent of the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad (1853-1854), East Tennessee and Virginia Railroad (1854), and the Petersburg Railroad (1855-1856). He was assistant superintendent of the Alabama and Florida Railroad (1857-1859) and superintendent of the Richmond \u0026 York River Railroad (1859-1860). From June 1861 to April 1865 he was the military road superintendent of the Confederate States of America, achieving the rank of colonel. After working as a superintendent of the Savannah \u0026 Memphis Railroad (1871-1872) and the New Jersey Southern Railroad (1872), he was an assistant, then master of transportations for the Baltimore \u0026 Ohio Railroad (1872-77). He served as a receiver for the Long Island Railroad (1877-1880), president of the Danville, Mocksville \u0026 Southwestern Railroad Company (1880-?), and president of the Cincinnati, Wheeling \u0026 New York Railroad Company (1883-?), as well as general manager of the Kanawha \u0026 Ohio Railroad (1886-?). Thomas Robinson Sharp died on July 28, 1909 and was buried in Eden (Rockingham County), North Carolina.","The guide to the  Thomas Robinson Sharp Papers by Special Collections and University Archives, Virginia Tech, is licensed under a CC0 (https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/).","The processing, arrangement and description of the Thomas Robinson Sharp Papers commenced in November 1997 and was completed in January 1998; minor adjustments to the arrangement and description were made in February 2009.","This collection contains the papers of Thomas Robinson Sharp, military road superintendent and colonel in the Confederate Army during the American Civil War and an official of various railways during the latter half of the nineteenth century. In a journal within the collection, Sharp briefly records his daily activities and whereabouts from 1859 to 1863. He makes some lengthier entries in 1862, mentioning battles and notable individuals, including \"Stonewall\" Jackson and Turner Ashby. The collection also contains an indexed notebook in which Sharp seemingly recorded anything which he found worthy of remembering, including such diverse subjects as statistics and procedures of various railways; instructions on personal behavior; home remedies; tools and equipment; Confederate postal rates; and many more. Interspersed among the handwritten notes are pencil sketches and clippings from published sources. Another similar volume contains Sharp's notes on railroad history and data on a number of different railway companies. A scrapbook of newspaper clippings is devoted entirely to an 1877 train collision on the B\u0026O line at Point of Rocks, Maryland.","The collection includes two ledgers, one largely devoted to recording sales of food goods to various individuals and companies, the other a cash book. Sharp's correspondence for a few months in 1908 is contained in two letter copy books; the collection also includes a single letter to Sharp, written by F. E. Browne, regarding a water distillery. Completing the papers is a collection of ephemera added by an unidentified past owner. These items include several newspaper clippings from the 1960s and 1970s, largeley relating to Civil War topics in Warren and Frederick counties, Virginia; research notes on various topics; an article about composition, extracted from an unidentified magazine; and a sketch of Brooklyn, Bath \u0026 Coney Island Railroad locomotive 6 (\"Clifford\").","During the course of processing, the following books were removed from the collection and cataloged for the Rare Book collection:\n      North Carolina Corporation Commission, Annual Report, 1899 (Raleigh, NC: Edwards \u0026 Broughton and E.M.
