This collection of railroad passes, a subset of the Jay T. Last collection of transportation, contains over 3,000 passes issued primarily by American railroad companies to individuals in the 19th and 20th centuries, with the bulk of the collection dating from 1860 to 1960. The passes provided the pass holder with permission to ride on the railroad, usually through the end of the calendar year, and the passes in the collection bear a variety of titles including annual pass, season ticket, time pass, free ticket, exchange ticket, and complimentary ticket. The decorative details of the passes vary across the collection, though most examples from the late 19th century and early 20th centuries contain engraved or lithographed designs and images. Visual decorations include patterned borders and scrollwork, logos, and vignettes primarily with transportation-related images such as railroad locomotives and trains, as well as buildings, views of landscapes, rivers and bridges, and wilderness scenes, and animals. Some passes have printed maps or pass conditions and rules printed on the card verso. American railroad companies issued the majority of passes primarily for annual travel on commercial passenger lines. Among the anomalies in the collection are passes of interurban electric lines, foreign railroad companies, primarily from Canada and Latin America countries.
