Artifact Overview

The Wabash Railway, with origins dating back to 1838, was a strong Midwestern carrier until Amtrak took over the national passenger railroad system in 1971. Like other railroads, Wabash advertised its trains to people relocating to the American West. Wabash promoted the fertile farmland along its routes, and it offered special fares and services for farmers.
