Georgia Railroad ticket for the line torn up by Sherman's troops during the Civil War. "Central Rail Road First Class Savannah to Eden"
Savannah GA 1840. Very good condition. Pre-Civil War engraved first class railroad ticket "Good for this Day Only" from Savannah to Eden. This line was ultimately torn up in the infamous Savannah Campaign of 1864 by Federal troops who twisted the rails around trees to prevent their re-use. By the end of the campaign the Central had lost 140 miles of track 14 locomotives and 97 railcars. The Central Rail Road and Canal Company was founded in Georgia in 1833; in order to attract capital its name was changed to the Central Rail Road and Banking Company of Georgia. The Central Rail Road was built to join up with the Macon and Western Railroad in Macon; this line between Savannah and Macon was built between 1837 and 1843.

Pamphlet original printed wrappers 8vo 35 pp. with lithographic map as frontispiece. Old ink ownership signature on front cover along with small rubber stamp of library on front cover too. Library stamp on back of title page some soiling to wrappers corners nicked and a slight vertical crease. Otherwise very good. Scarce pamphlet offering a view of the building of the transcontinental railroad and some of the challenges it faced including those related to the crossing the Sierra Nevada. The map shows most of the U.S. excluding the southern fringe with the Central Pacific and Union Pacific Railroads connecting just north of Salt Lake City. The map also shows the proposed Southern Pacific Railroad from St. Louis to Southern California. The pamphlet talks about the need for the railroad because of the gold discoveries and the unlimited agricultural potential of the region. The author speculates that California could handle a population of ten million people. Also includes facts and figures about the cost of the railroad. George Brown, Printer, books
