Historic Railroad Maps

One of the most influential aspects of the Industrial Revolution was the advent of the railroad. Through this technology, our entire vast nation became able to transport its goods from the heartland to the port cities in a matter of days instead of weeks or months, thus unifying the nation. This accelerated America's journey to becoming one of the world's leading centers of industry and commerce. By producing and distributing maps of their rail lines, the railroad companies were documenting their history as well as the history of America. Catch a glimpse of history and these mighty lines with our magnificent maps of the industry leaders at their peak. As decorative pieces of history, these beautiful display maps exhibit available stops and rail elevation profiles, owned lines, leased lines, points of interest for travelers and loads of other information for railroad buffs and novices alike. The innovative line that opened up the west, the Santa Fe Railroad also set the standard for luxury as well as many speed records. As America's first and most famous Transcontinental Railroad, the Union Pacific's Overland Route changed the face, feel, and finances of our country with contributions from industry giants like George Pullman, Andrew Carnegie, and George Westinghouse. Here in the 21st century, the railroad is long past its heyday, but the magic of railroading is alive and well and easily accessible. Collectors and enthusiasts around the world have flocked to www.historicmapsrestored.com to find just the right historical map to complete their "Train Rooms". We offer maps for dozens of railroads; the Pennsylvania RR, the B&O, the Chessie System, and the Union Pacific just to name a few.
