 The "Memorial of the New Mexican Railway Company, in Relation to the Pacific Railroad" was introduced by Miguel Antonio Otero in the United States Congress on May 21, 1860.
 It was an argument in favor of the southern route for a transcontinental railroad.
 Arguments over the central vs. southern route were a part of the complex of insoluble relations between states, dating back to James Gadsden's involvement in 1845 (as described in the discussion under the Gadsden Purchase).
 These arguments contributed to the outbreak of the American Civil War.
 The New Mexican Railway Company was formed in conjunction with the attempt to retain rights of in-state railroad construction oversight within the Territorial government.
 The act of incorporation stated that company rights and privileges would be forfeited if construction had not begun within a period of five years.
 Beginning in 1862, after the outbreak of Civil War, the Union Pacific Railroad and the Central Pacific Railroad of California were granted lands and construction privileges for the First Transcontinental Railroad project under the Pacific Railway Acts.
 Construction of this Overland Route was begun in 1863 and completed in 1869.
 The southern route did not become a reality until 1883, when the Southern Pacific Railroad linked New Orleans and the Gulf of Mexico with Los Angeles and the Pacific Ocean.
