Southern Railway
was a leading regional railroad, serving the Southeastern US from the District of Columbia to Louisiana and from Missouri and Ohio to Florida. Formed in 1894 from a combination of many smaller lines, it existed until it
merged in 1982 with the Norfolk & Western Railway to form Norfolk Southern
.
For auction is a
LOT of 4 luggage tags
. These date
from the 1960s
and were
provided to riders on Southern's passenger trains
. The tags measure appx 8 1/2 inches end to end, 2 inches across the large part, and 1 inch across the small part.
The "caution" note can be removed and reversed to provide a space for the rider to write his/her name and addres
s. These were permanent tags, and
once snapped and locked could not be removed
.
The tags are made of a vinyl/plastic product. The back side has the message
"Tag us when you have freight transportation or person travel needs, Southern Railway System, Washington, DC".
The front side has the letters
"SOUTHERN"
along the strap. These
tags have never been used
. There ae no rips or tears, no writing. the printing on the vinyl/plastic material has worn a bit, as you can see in the scans, but I see no other flaws.
A great collectible item for the Southern railfan.
