DESCRIPTION: Very cool manuscript U.S.A. railroad route rate map for a Canadian railroad: "Map of the Quebec Central Railway Company showing rates on Pulpwood, Carloads from Quebec Central Railway Stations to Watertown- Boonville - Fulton and Lockport, N.Y. U.S.A. 1927."
Compiled by H.W. Schatt, General Freight Office, N.Y.C.R.R. January, 1927. Very neat, tidy lettering.
The Quebec Central Railway served the area of Quebec called the Eastern Townships, south of the St. Lawrence River. Its headquarters was in Sherbrooke. It was originally incorporated in 1869 as the Sherbrooke, Eastern Townships and Kennebec Railway, and changed its name to the Quebec Central Railway in 1875.
Interesting in that the map was produced by the New York Central Railroad probably for their own internal use.
