This advertisement depicts the lines of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway from the eastern seaboard to Chicago, touting the railway's well-known passenger trains, The George Washington, The Sportsman, and The Fast Flying Virginian. Cities along the lines are illustrated with a vignette depicting an important site or event, meant to encourage travelers to visit these "scenic and historic" places by rail.
