February 01, 1834
AMERICAN RAILROAD JOURNAL, New York, Feb. 1, 1834 This is an early issue of the very first American periodical on railroading.
The best feature of this newspaper may be the great and very early engraving of a railroad train in the masthead, showing an engine with three cars. Note the crudeness of the train, but keep in mind this is from the very beginning years of the railroad industry.
Various railroad-related text throughout the issue with several small illustrations of railroad-related parts.
Sixteen pages, 9 by 12 1/2 inches, some light dirtiness to the front page, good condition.
