	Chicago & North Western RY
		While the Chicago and North Western Railway Company in terms of physical size is one of the largest railroads in the United States, to its officers and other personnel there are many additional facts about our railroad which sets it apart from others in the nation.
		While the North Western today is a single corporation, it is the result of mergers, consolidations, outright purchases and other forms of union of more than 160 railroad companies dating back over the years to 1848 when the first of the lines was constructed westward out of Chicago.
		From the beginning the North Western was an important freight and passenger carrier, and during the heyday of rail passenger travel operated such historic passenger trains as the "Overland Limited," the "Challengers," the "North Western Limited," the "Twin Cities 400" and the "Dakota 400."

		The date is estimated from the shown railway development, although the figures "D.78" appear on the left bottom, and that usually would indicate an 1878 date; however, none of the 1878 maps show the line developed as far as it is on the map.
		But 1878 may be the correct date, with the map showing the lines under construction - this would tie the broadside closer to the Black Hills gold rush of 1877 and explain the prominently shown Black Hills and the town of Deadwood on the map.
