Description
This vibrant railroad map of the United States was published in Chicago by the Poole Brothers in 1926 on behalf of the Chicago, Rock Island, and Pacific Railroad Company. Bright yellow highlights the fourteen western states served by the company’s routes between Chicago and Denver/El Paso. Lines and connections are shown in thick black, with tiny text identifying the various stations along each in operation.
National Parks, a major destination for passenger services across the western United States, are shaded in green. Text and photographs describing the company’s routes in operation and its luxurious accommodations are provided on the verso.
