Lackawanna Railroad Dec 5 1955 4 Day Round Trip Coach Excursion Ticket 5
Vintage Lackawanna Railroad conductor 4-day round-trip coach excursion ticket form dated December 5, 1955. This mid-century regional rail document remains entirely intact, showcasing the Conductor's Stub on the far left, the Going Coupon in the center, and the Return Coupon on the far right, completely separated by vertical perforation lines. Due to age and handling, these original vertical perforations are starting to split gently along the seams.
Ultimate Geographic Keyword Powerhouse
This original regional transit document serves as an excellent reference piece for New York and New Jersey transportation history. The front of the tan paper prominently displays a comprehensive checklist layout of localized stations including New York, Hoboken, Newark, Roseville Ave, East Orange, Brick Church, Orange, South Orange, Maplewood, Morristown, Dover, Wharton, Netcong, Hackettstown, Washington, and Blairstown.
Historic Line Coverage
The ticket outlines highly specific regulations from the post-World War II era passenger network under Passenger Traffic Manager W. H. Dominick. The specialized text notes that the return coupon is good for a 4-day round trip coach ticket, valid for return passage from and to stations punched in the margin within a strict time limit. The layout includes structured date grids for day, month, and a block of year options spanning 1955 to 1960, illustrating the systematic inventory controls utilized by the line to track off-peak excursion traffic.
Specialized Printer Sample and Archival Status
A defining characteristic of this historical artifact is the prominent pink hand stamp reading SAMPLE applied across the top right of the reverse side. Directly below the sample designation is an official corporate printer credit stamp reading Rand McNally & Co., alongside a crisp ink production date stamp reading DEC -5 1955. This explicit documentation proves the piece was preserved as an unissued printer proof or company file copy, escaping public commuter use.
Backside Advertising Masterpiece
The reverse side of this transit document contains no commercial retail advertisements or product promotions, instead showcasing a tan safety background pattern overlaying the surface with repeating oval security emblems that read Association Ticket Paper. The layout details the ghost-like mirror image text bleeding through from the heavily inked front face, along with three small utility accounting file hole punches applied through the upper panels during its time in the print house archives.
Historical Context
The Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad operated an expansive network of passenger lines running out of the grand Hoboken Terminal. Passenger Traffic Manager W. H. Dominick oversaw operations during a transitional mid-1950s era for the carrier. Manufactured by security printing specialist Rand McNally, this intact three-coupon form represents a rare archival layout preserved prior to ticket station distribution.
