The first of them is from The Wabash Railway Company which operated in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Missouri, and Ontario. The company’s main traffic line was a direct route between Kansas City and Detroit.
On the first freight bill, the penciled writing has faded, but since the company began in 1931, it looks like it was from that time.
The pink freight bill is from the Illinois Terminal Railroad System, which began operating in 1896 with horses and eventually into an electric interurban railroad that moved freight and people in central and southern Illinois. The bill is dated July 9, 1934.
The last freight bill is from The Southern Railway Company, operating in the South between 1894-1982.
The freight bill is dated September 6, 1932.
