Seaboard Air Line Railway Schedule, 1897

01

Artifact Overview

The Seaboard Air Line Railway was formed in 1900 through the consolidation of several southern lines. At its peak, SAL covered 4,500 miles with tracks that stretched from Virginia to Alabama and Florida. "Air Line" was clever marketing, suggesting that SAL's routes were more direct than its competitors'. The company merged with the parallel Atlantic Coast Line Railroad in 1967.
