Description
A scarce and appealing piece of Long Island Rail Road commuter history, this original 1945 60-ride ticket links New York Penn Station with Brooklyn Manor, a long-gone LIRR station that gives the piece added historical and collector value. Railroad ephemera from named, defunct stations is always more interesting than standard surviving transit material, and this example has excellent display character with its many period punch cancellations showing real-world use.
* Original Long Island Rail Road Company 60-ride commuter ticket
* Dated 1945, placing it in the World War II / immediate postwar era
* Issued for travel between New York (Penn. Station) and Brooklyn Manor
* Brooklyn Manor is a defunct station, which adds desirability for LIRR and New York transit collectors
* Strong railroadiana, New York City, Queens, and commuter history appeal
* Fully used appearance with punch marks that give it an authentic, visual presentation
* Nice collectible for ticket collectors, transportation historians, or anyone building a Long Island Rail Road collection
This is the kind of survivor that works well both as a historical artifact and as a displayable conversation piece from the great age of New York commuting. Please view all the photos for the best understanding of condition and presentation.
