This railroad timetable features a map of the U.S. east of the Rocky Mountains that shows several railroad routes, Indian reservations, forts, and Gen. McKenzie's battlefield. The map is surrounded by advertising claims for the railroad, including a nice graphic for Horton's reclining chair. All stops between Cleveland and St. Louis are named. Folds into self covers (3.6 x 8.5") with extensive timetables on verso; cover title, "Go West St. Louis via Indianapolis & St. Louis R.R. Bee Line Route."

A few intersectional fold splits repaired with archival tape on the map side, and a small bit of loss in blank area at bottom. There are a few unobtrusive spots.
