Sale No: 736
Lot No: 70
Symbol:

image 1869 Golden Spike Ceremony, letter dated Apr 19, 1869, on a Union Pacific Railroad letterhead from the Office of J.S. & D.T. Casement, Echo City, Utah; written by a C.C. Jennings to his family, describing his journey from Omaha to Promontory Point, U.T. for the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad; Jennings is traveling aboard the Lincoln Car as a guest of Union Pacific executive, Sidney Dillon. He talks of traveling "with Jack", who could possibly be John "General Jack" Casement, of the aforementioned firm responsible for laying the last section of Union Pacific track from Omaha to Promontory Point, and whose wife, the former Frances Jennings, may have been the writer's sister, thus making Casement his brother-in-law, Fine to Very Fine.
Estimate $1,000 - 1,500

The Lincoln Car was completed in February of 1865 for the personal travel of the President. On the day Lincoln was assassinated, he had not yet responded to an invitation to ride in the car, thus its first use was to transport Lincoln's remains from Washington D.C. to Springfield, Ill. The car was subsequently purchased by the Union Pacific Railroad for the private use of its executives. Ironically, due to its large size, the car had to be removed from the train before reaching Promontory Point.

image 1870 Travel Pass for the Erie Railway, 3½" x 2¼" card signed by Jay Gould, beautifully engraved in red & black by the National Bank Note Co. and issued to "Mr. John Taylor, Genl. Frt. Agent, Lehigh Valley Rail Road Co."; the card is actually Revenue Stamped Paper, the reverse bearing the 5¢ Lincoln imprint in orange (RN-P5), Very Fine. A marvelous piece of Railroad history, particularly with Gould's signature.
Estimate $1,000 - 1,500

Known for his questionable business practices, Jay Gould, perhaps more than any other, personified the late 19th-century image of the Robber Baron and corrupt Railroad tycoon. He once tried to corner the gold market and ultimately defeated the powerful Cornelius Vanderbilt for control of the Erie Railroad by bribing the New York state legislature to change the law. However, for all of his flaws, Gould was actually very successful at operating railroads, at one time controlling more than 10,000 miles of track, usually succeeding by merging smaller lines to serve direct connections to larger markets and cities. He also led Western Union to its dominance of the telegraph industry.
