Stock printed by Union Bank Note Co., K.C., MO. This is a Branch Company of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway.  The Union Construction Company was primarily under the umbrella of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway, holding multiple contracts constructing various rail lines including the Randsburg Railway. These lines served as a supply link transporting silver, lead, clay, general goods, and providing passenger services. Randsburg Railway ran through California’s Mojave Desert.

Union Construction purchased many locomotives during their existence including the #1 Locomotive for the construction of the Tonopah & Tidewater Railroad. This locomotive was originally built by Baldwin Locomotive Works. Tonopah & Tidewater ran from Goldfield, Nevada to Ludlow, California.

These rail lines were inevitably consumed and acquired by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway which ran through Arizona, California, Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, Texas, Indiana, Nevada and Oklahoma. This Stock Certificate was printed in Kansas City, Missouri which was one of the three major headquarter locations for the AT&SF Railway System.

A stock certificate is issued by businesses, usually companies. A stock is part of the permanent finance of a business. Normally, they are never repaid, and the investor can recover his/her money only by selling to another investor. Most stocks, or also called shares, earn dividends, at the business's discretion, depending on how well it has traded. A stockholder or shareholder is a part-owner of the business that issued the stock certificates.
