Seaboard System Railroad was created in 1982 when CSX Corporation merged its subsidiaries Seaboard Coast Line and Louisville & Nashville.  In 1985, Seaboard System in Georgia consisted of the former lines of Seaboard Coast Line, L&N, Georgia Railroad, Atlanta & West Point Railroad, and Gainesville Midland Railroad.  The Seaboard System name lasted only four years. In mid-1986, it became CSX Transportation.  A twin pack of Seaboard System Railroad playing cards. It contains two decks, one yellow border and one red border, still sealed in the cellophane. The plastic holder has some bumps and scratches, but no cracks. The clear plastic lid is missing. Since Seaboard was a freight only railroad, they weren't giving these out to passengers. 

The Seaboard Coast Line Railroad became Seaboard System Railroad as a result of a merger with the Louisville & Nashville Railroad (L&N). For some years prior to this, the SCL and L&N had been under the common ownership of a holding company, Seaboard Coast Line Industries (SCI), the company's railroad subsidiaries being collectively known as the Family Lines System which consisted of the L&N, SCL, Clinchfield and West Point Routes.  After the 1980 merger of SCL with the Chessie System, the resulting CSX Corporation combined the Family Lines System units as the Seaboard System Railroad and later became CSX Transportation when the former Chessie units merged with the SCL in 1986.  Listed here are a twin pack of SCL / L&N playing cards. It contains two decks, one with a steam locomotive and a modern SCL / L&N locomotive, the other has SCL / L&N train in a scenic view. Both decks are still sealed in the cellophane. The plastic holder has some bumps, scuffs and scratches, but no cracks. The clear plastic lid has some bumps, scuffs, scratches, wear to the gold lettering in spots and one small gouge on the side, but no cracks. Since was a freight only railroad, they weren't giving these out to passengers. They could be an advertising item or promotional item given out by salesmen.

Agreement between The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway Company and the Brotherhood of Railway, Airline, and Steamship Clerks, Freight Handlers, Express and Station Employees June 1, 1981. This is the real deal right from the estate of a long time railroad man. It has no rips, tears or pen marks, just a few slight bends in the covers and some soiling. Inside there are no rips, tears or missing pages, just some light finger marks from usage.  This is the whole thing, all 58 pages worth. Great addition to any hardcore rail collectors collection. 

Santa Fe Pocket Calendar 1984.  This pocket size calendar has no damage.  On the flip side there is a beautiful western scene.  Super addition to anyone's rail collection. 

Santa Fe Chico pin.  These pins are new in the bag, I got them from the estate of a long term railroad man.  Chico hasn't been used in a long time as he was no longer politically correct.  Change QTY in the cart to add more! 10 max.

Transportation  Communications Union and Brotherhood of Railway Clerks 3" stickers.  Both stickers are original and have no damage.  The TCU is a regular sticker and the BRAC is a window sticker, that's why it looks backward.

Fred Harvey Hotels Dining Menu.  It has no rips or tears, just a tiny bend or two from handling.  I am no menu expert, but I think this one's a reproduction.  Most from a chain like Fred Harvey were dated so the dining room manager knew which one was the latest from the home office, this one isn't.  Second, there are no $ signs in front of the prices which strikes me of a foreign reproduction makers carelessness.  This is still a nice collectible of an era of hospitality gone by. Many times the repro becomes more rare than the originals.
