About Railroadiana

The railroads built America: up through WWII they were the dominant form of transport, with hundreds of major ‘roads’ hauling passengers and freight. The legacy of those days lives on as railroadiana: from paper (like calendars, postcards, photos and passes), to dining car collectibles like china and silver, to hardware like locks and badges and lanterns.
