Rare and colorful broadside advertising "the Shortest and Quickest Route" to "all points West" on the Wabash Line connecting through St. Louis. The sheet features a full-color image of the famous Wabash flag as well as the seals of Colorado and California. Customers are promised that all trains feature "Free Reclining Chair Cars and Pullman Buffet Sleeping Cars" and are provided a name and address to acquire maps and timetables. <br> <br> At the time this broadside was issued Charles M. Hays was general manager and the Wabash railroad was under the control of financier Jay Gould who was working feverishly to establish a full coast-to-coast system. He had merged the St. Louis Kansas City & Northern Railroad with Wabash creating the Wabash St. Louis & Pacific Railroad. Then as with many other Eastern and Midwest railroads Wabash partnered with Union Pacific to provide service further west. By 1896 Gould's son George had taken over the railroad and proceeded to expand it further swallowing up the Missouri Pacific Western Pacific Denver & Rio Grande Western Western Maryland and Wheeling & Lake Erie railroads. Hays left in 1896 to become general manager and later president of the Grand Trunk Railway in Canada which helped extend the Wabash network north. <br> <br> An attractive artifact from one of the great American railroads.
