Comprehensive Vintage Chesapeake & Ohio (C&O) Railway Passenger Ticket Agent Stubs Archive – 32 Pieces (1953–1962)
32 authentic, vintage Chesapeake & Ohio Railway (C&O) passenger ticket agent stubs. Spanning from 1953 to 1962, this extensive collection tells a fascinating story of regional commuting and luxury long-haul travel along the historic C&O Main Line and Peninsula Extension.
8x Premium 5\" Family Excursion Stubs (1962): These large, reddish-pink multi-state tickets trace the path of the C&O\'s legendary flagship luxury streamliner, The George Washington. Includes long-haul round-trips from the Newport News Atlantic terminus to Cincinnati, OH; Columbus, OH; Hinton, WV; and St. Albans, WV, plus a regional run to Charlottesville, VA and 3 matching excursion stubs to Richmond, VA.10x Military-Era Local Fares (Dec 1954): A tight, historical cluster of 10 stubs stamped from Newport News to Lee Hall, VA (the depot serving Fort Eustis). Featuring a 68-cent fare (plus 7-cent tax under the newly enacted 1954 excise tax code), this lot includes a rare 47-cent child\'s half-fare stub. These were almost certainly purchased together for military personnel or families traveling for the Christmas holidays.8x Williamsburg Summer Tourism Fares (August 1962): A tight cluster of 8 close-numbered 30-day round-trip stubs into tourist-heavy Williamsburg, VA, captured during the final decade of classic passenger rail service.4x Richmond Square Stubs (1953/1955): Small square 10-day round-trip stubs tracking travel from the coast up to the state capital.2x 1962 Small 3-Inch Square Stubs: Includes a standard square stub to Richmond and a unique 3-inch square Cincinnati stub clearly marked \"VOID\" by the ticket agent (highly collectible novelty error piece!).
