A route that ran west from Pittsburgh through Ohio and Indiana to Chicago is the focus of this railroad map, which shows how far the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne & Chicago line reached into the Midwest. Its tracks linked the industrial East with the grain-producing prairie in the late 1850s, carrying coal, iron and manufactured goods in both directions. Maps like this one were printed to inform investors, travelers and shippers about towns, junctions and connections along the line. The Pennsylvania Railroad later took control of the company and folded it into its larger system.
