- Chicago: Rand McNally & Co., 1884
Folding train schedule, (4 1/2x 9), 20 panels, large folding map in color. Some browning and aging, some separation at the middle fold, two of those separations are a few inches, three other smaller tears at the middle fold, these are repairable, a few chips and tears at edge folds. Nice piece of railroad memorabilia, with substantial information about rates and schedules. Most of the trains are geared toward the west, which gives an idea on the process of opening up this still relatively new part of the country.The map has its flaws, but it is sound enough to get a feel for the lines of the Union Pacific.
