Chicago Illinois 1906 Chicago St Paul Minneapolis Omaha Railway Billhead 8 x 5.5

This 1906 railroad billhead documents a single-day movement report for special freight trains operated by the Chicago St Paul Minneapolis and Omaha Railway.

Upper Midwest railroads depended on tightly coordinated stock and perishable freight service to connect agricultural regions with urban markets. Movement reports like this were internal operating records used to track schedules, transfers, and delays, reflecting the logistical complexity of handling livestock and time-sensitive goods across long distances.

The form records departure and arrival points, transit time, and counts for cattle, sheep, hogs, and other freight classes, with handwritten remarks detailing operational conditions along the route. Notes describe delays, switching, and connections between trains, preserving a working snapshot of railroad management rather than a retail transaction. The printed masthead and ruled columns present standardized company recordkeeping on a compact commercial sheet measuring 8 x 5.5 inches.
