Map shows Illinois Central at the depth of it's decline, after all of the various spin-offs and before the Iowa Division was reacquired; Missing are the Chicago Central and Pacific; Chicago, Missouri and Western; Indiana; Paducah and Louisville; Birmingham Route (Sold to Norfolk Southern); Gulf and Mississippi; Mid-South;

An unusual feature is the inclusion of "Remington - Hoosier Lift", the former ATSF (Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe), later TPW (Toledo, Peoria and Western), facility in North Central Indiana; I've forgotten what became of this facility, but it is the only offline point, besides Gulfport and Pascagoula, Mississippi, that is indicated as a station (open circle); All other off-line points are shown with a closed circle; this suggests that IC may have had some sort of agreement that allowed it to quote rates to these nominally off-line locations;

Routes Shown Service Alabama, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee;

Condition Generally Very Good; Covers may show staining and other storage wear; insides clean, and near mint as timetable was never "used";
