The train made its first run on March 19 1949 and while the original train stopped in 1970 it has since been operated by Amtrak.

1864WRCAM47423London 1864. 162pp. Folio. String-tied as issued. A bit tanned some small chips at the edges. Very good. The Thomas W. Streeter copy with his pencil notes on the titlepage. This House of Commons working paper is a continuation of their return dated July 10 1863 on the subject of constructing a telegraph line to British Columbia and the Pacific. The Hudson's Bay Company unsurprisingly was intimately involved in the machinations for the building of the line. They had made an agreement with the Canadian government to build the telegraph line from the Red River to the Pacific themselves but when they failed to do so a group of English bankers proposed to step in and do the job. The papers included herein provide much information on the qualities of the land between Lake Superior and British Columbia and the need for swift communication throughout and across the vast region. Also included is a memorial from the people of the Red River Settlement discussing their urgent need for the telegraph. <br> <br> The Streeter copy sold to Nebenzahl for $30 in 1969 and was still in his stock when the Reese Company bought the last of it in 2013; here it is.

A very attractive single stereocard image of the Central Pacific Railroad's "Long Ravine Trestle Bridge."

The image comes from a set sixty-two stereocards created by Thomas Houseworth & Company for the railroad some time after the railroads completion in 1869.

Tape repair across portion of horizontal fold; one panel with patches of light staining. A scarce colorful promotional for the Rock Island Route as well as its national and international connections with a fascinating stamp of an Australian sales agent. One side of the sheet prints an extensive promotional text and timetables for the various routes and services of the Chicago Rock Island & Pacific Railway. The main side of the sheet prints a map of the United States with state borders shaded in four colors highlighting the principal routes of the Rock Island from Chicago to Minnesota Iowa and Kansas and its connections to points on both the East and West Coasts. An inset map at lower right promotes the Rock Island as part of a transcontinental route between the United Kingdom Ireland and Australia. Most interestingly this copy is stamped on the cover panel with the information of a George. H. Hibbard "Australian Passenger Agent America's Cons'd Trans-continental Railways 6 Bridge Street Sydney N.S.W." Hibbard was evidently the agent in charge of distributing information about the trans-America route in Sydney one of its end points.
