Prospectus advertising the sale of mortgage bonds for the Sherman, Shreveport and Southern Railway in Texas. The Sherman, Shreveport and Southern was organized in 1893, as a successor to the East Line & Red River Railroad. The text gives earnings and operating expense information, as well as the interest rates on the bonds in question. The map laid in shows the track line in red, running from Shreveport to McKinney, Texas. The railroad was sold to the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railway Company of Texas in 1923. An ephemeral piece from this short-lived little railroad.

Price: $650.00
