This is OK, if a little unexpected.
What I should expect is either "We contracted to have a railway built" or "We were contracted to build a railway."
If your business is making contracts and building railways--and not teaching English--this is a perfectly natural production.

"We were contracted to build a railway." seems more natural to me. Now, does it match the Japanese? I'm not completely sure.
