The Pittsburgh & Lake Erie Railroad was one of the lines that carried coal, iron, and steel out of the Ohio Valley and western Pennsylvania during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This piece pairs a company advertisement with a photograph of the railroad's city ticket office, so it shows both how the line tried to win passengers and what a downtown sales counter looked like when rail travel was the main way to move between towns. Ticket offices like this one were usually placed on busy commercial streets, where travelers could book fares, check schedules, and arrange freight shipments without going to the station itself.
