    Subseries C. Railroad (large size)

    Visual Materials

    This subseries contains 150 prints pertaining to railroads primarily in North America that date from the 1830s to the early 1910s. The images and texts of these items focus on varying aspects of railroads related to car and locomotive manufacturing, travel, administration, and geography. The items include maps; folding brochures; timetables; broadsides and posters; locomotive builder's prints (depicting the side elevation of locomotive exteriors), and view prints depicting landscapes and street scenes that feature trains, factory buildings, and passenger stations. The majority of materials in this series were produced primarily for railroad companies to advertise their routes and train schedules to potential passengers, but the collection also includes over thirty locomotive builder's prints issued by machine shops to advertise the design and construction of their locomotives, as well as five posters advertising railroad land for sale; two broadsides promoting the train-based shipping services of the Adams & Company Express in 1844 and 1850 (priJLC_TRAN_001193 and priJLC_TRAN_001194); a March 10, 1849, issue of Horn's Railroad Gazette (priJLC_TRAN_001085); a circa 1860 portrait print of New York Central Railroad mechanic Edward H.
