"Map of the Michigan Central Railroad & Principal Connections", Rand McNally & Co.

This is an early and well printed railroad system map and timetable. The map shows the primary routes between Boston and Portland, ME westward to Chicago. Other routes are shown as far south as New Orleans and into Texas and just to Colorado. Two insets delineate rail lines in the Northwest from the Dakotas to Washington and Oregon. The timetable on the map's verso is dated January 3, 1877. It features a large wood engraving showing diners in the "First-Class" dining car. Self folds into covers with the line's logo and interior and exterior images of the "Michigan Central Dining Car." Printed by the Rand McNally Company in Chicago.
