Correspondence, 1903-1930, is housed in Box 1 and concerns bridges (locations, plans, bids, construction, materials); land (purchase of property, deeds, boundaries); routes for tracks, road construction, timber, shipments, and insurance for engineers. Specific locations mentioned several times include Webster Springs, the Holly River, and the Elk River. Business papers, 1906-1918 and undated are also housed in Box 1.

These offer information about levels for various sections of the railroad, including the Bergoo Extension, Cherry Falls section, Mill Run section, Elk River Bridge, Back Fork extension, Leatherwood, Palmer, and Grassy Creek sections of the rail line. Specific topics include preliminary levels for lines, final level profiles, grades, slopes, structures, siding, construction data, and back switches. Box 4 also contains masonry books. Box 5 also contains time books from 1901-1903, and 1933; a savings account book from 1890-1892; and the Pocket List of Railroad Officials from 1927 and 1930.","Also included are more than 130 oversize maps and almost 30 oversize blueprints. Maps detail extensions, rail lines, projected lines, operating and proposed lines, cut timber, and proposed tracks and junctions. Blueprints are of station houses, dwellings, and bridges along the railroad, chiefly in Bergoo, Grafton, Palmer, and Webster Springs. There are also a number of drawings of the Elk River Bridge.
