Chicago Illinois 1909 Chicago St Paul Minneapolis Omaha Railway Billhead 8 x 5.5

This 1909 railroad billhead records a single-day movement report for special freight trains operated by the Chicago St Paul Minneapolis and Omaha Railway during the peak era of livestock and perishable-goods transport.

Upper Midwest railroads depended on carefully timed stock and freight service to link agricultural regions with urban markets. Movement reports like this were internal operational records used to track schedules, transfers, and handling conditions, reflecting the logistical complexity of moving cattle and perishables across long-distance routes where delays could directly affect value.

The form lists origin and destination points, departure and arrival times, transit duration, and car counts for cattle, sheep, hogs, and other freight classes. Handwritten remarks document routing and handling notes for a specific run, preserving a working snapshot of railroad coordination rather than a retail invoice. The printed masthead and ruled columns present standardized company recordkeeping on a compact commercial sheet measuring 8 x 5.5 inches.
