These are Southern Pacific envelopes from 1944.  They are both "inter-company" and customer billing envelopes.  They represent many of the Arizona Railway Agent offices as well as El Paso, TX.  They were obviously "standard issue" as the return address on most is the corporate office in San Francisco.  Many also have "Local Treasurer" printed above the address.
