This collection comprises miscellanous technical drawings executed by John C. Bristow presumably in conjuction with his employ at the Southern Pacific Railroad Sacramento Shops. They are in various formats: ink on paper or linen, pencil on paper, and white line on blue paper. Some appear to have been official Southern Pacific drawings but lack a SP drawing number. Others have SP drawing numbers, and some are sketches.
