1922 Gulf Coast Lines Railroad employee pass - Gulf Colorado & Santa Fe Railroad

The Gulf Coast Lines was the name of a railroad system comprising three principal railroads, as well as some smaller ones, that stretched from New Orleans, Louisiana through Baton Rouge and Houston to Brownsville, Texas. Originally chartered as subsidiaries of the St Louis San Francisco (Frisco) Railroad, the system became independent in 1916 and was purchased by the Missouri Pacific Railroad in 1925. Surviving Gulf Coast trackage is now part of Union Pacific.
