Central Pacific Railway California Travel Poster
| An original colored lithograph advertising the Pacific Railway's route from New York to California, encouraging people to "Go and See the Great American Panorama." The poster features an artist's depiction of the "Snow Sheds on the Central Pacific Railway, California," including a steam engine traveling through the snow and tree-covered hills of California. A large group of men holding shovels, possibly the workers who made the sheds, watch the train passing by. |
