The Norfolk and Western Railway Company was headquartered in Roanoke, Virginia. It began business in 1881 and its rail system was known as “The Coal Road” because it shipped coal from West Virginia to East Coast ports.

The company was known for building its own steam engines.

This bill of sale from 159 years ago is a shipping order for a 100 pound ream of wrapping paper for $7.50, about $255 in today’s money.

The shipment was sent to William F. Murphy’s sons in Philadelphia.
