Complete original August 1937 edition of The Official Guide of the Railways and Steam Navigation Lines of the United States, Porto Rico, Canada, Mexico, and Cuba, with airline schedules and timetables of railroads in Central America.

• This hefty softcover book measures 10" x 7" and is just shy of three inches thick, with 1534 pages packed with time tables, route maps, lists of railroad stations and military posts and camps, as well as ads for steamship companies, airlines, hotels, and businesses serving the transportation industry.



• It was published by the National Railway Publication Company, New York, and is copyrighted © 1937.



• Condition:  It is in very good, lightly used condition, complete and intact. The spine has a slight curl and a few of the pages at the front of the book have minor edge wear and turned corners. The main contents and the bulk of the pages are in quite fine shape, with only an occasional blemish, edge tear, or crease. This book was printed more than 89 years ago, and the paper has toned and softened with age. You will want to handle it carefully, as you would any old and fragile document. Please see the scans and feel free to ask any questions.



• The Official Guide was widely used by railroad personnel, travel agents, and corporate travel departments. It was especially useful for constructing connections among the many railroads of the time, and it also included some high priority freight schedules, system maps, listings of company officers, and an index of all railroad stations, as well as airline and steamship schedules. It is an excellent source of historical information on travel by railroad, airplane, and steamship.
