Last NG Train to Climax

[Todd Hackett]

I'm scanning some more photos, and the train order in this one caught my eye. The photo is an official CB&Q photo identified on the back as Last run C&S ng, and dated 8-25-43. I zoomed into the train order and compared it to a flimsy that I have in my collection, and it looks like the same train order. I'm pretty sure it's an original. It's on very flimsy paper, with the carbon on the back so you're reading it through the paper. I found it between the pages of a book that I bought used - I think it was either Poor's DSP&P book or the Pictorial Suppliment.

WOW!

I'm not a paper collector but this is just too much.  Imagine that surviving and that should be under glass.
