Railroad Fares
Did you ever wonder
how much it used to cost to ride a train "Way back when?" Well,
here's a 1961 New Haven Railroad Flyer with a fare table. The
New Haven operated in the Northeastern United States.
In the first picture
the column on the left (the one with the paragraphs of text) represents
the inside fold of the flyer. The column on the right (the one
with the locomotive) is on the back of the flyer. NOTE: The front
of the flyer, not shown here, is the same as the right hand column.
The second picture shows
the fare table. The fare table consumed all three leafs on the inside
of the flyer.
