1927 "Big Three" Southern Railroad Executive Archive – ACL (Linen), L&N, & Central of Georgia
This listing offers a unique opportunity to own a verified professional archive from the "Golden Age" of Southern railroading. This three-piece set of unpunched 1927 annual passes belonged to J.A. Kaufmann, Chief Clerk to the General Superintendent of the Seaboard Air Line (SAL).
Archive Highlights:
Atlantic Coast Line (ACL) - RARE LINEN ISSUE: The centerpiece of this trio. In 1927, the ACL was the Seaboard's primary rival. This pass is printed on premium linen-textured cardstock, a luxury tactile feature that distinguishes it from standard paper issues.
Louisville & Nashville (L&N): Known as "The Old Reliable," the L&N was the industrial backbone of the South. This specimen is crisp and unpunched.
Central of Georgia: "The Right Way." A vital regional link and a favorite among Georgia state history collectors.
Why Buy the Archive? By purchasing this trio, you are securing a complete "competitive snapshot" of 1927. These three roads, along with the Seaboard, controlled the flow of the Great Florida Boom. Finding all three issued to the same high-ranking official—all in unpunched, museum-quality condition—is exceptionally rare.
Provenance: Verified J.A. Kaufmann Executive Collection.
