These certificates are available in blue or green. Cancellation holes, stamps and writing present. Sold as a collectable.
The Erie Railroad played a crucial role in transporting passengers and freight, particularly coal from Pennsylvania's mines to markets along the eastern seaboard. Known for its engineering achievements, the Erie Railroad pioneered the use of steam locomotives and contributed significantly to the development of America's transportation infrastructure during the 19th century.
The company faced financial challenges throughout its history, including a series of reorganizations and mergers, ultimately merging with the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad in 1960 to form the Erie Lackawanna Railroad.
