Product Info
The Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad (reporting mark CBQ) was a railroad that operated in the Midwestern United States. Commonly referred to as the Burlington Route, the Burlington, or the Q, it operated extensive trackage in the states of Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Wyoming, and also in Texas through subsidiaries Colorado and Southern Railway, Fort Worth and Denver Railway, and Burlington-Rock Island Railroad. The railway merged with other businesses in 1970, as the usage of passenger cars drastically decreased. Few items remain from the mid century railway, and this is one of those items! This is a small (est. 6 oz.), ceramic mug. The words "Burlington Route" are shown on either side of the mug, with the word "Burlington" on the handle and the letters "CB&Q" along the inner rim. The bottom is stamped "Burlington Route, The American Rails, USA." This item is in excellent vintage condition, with no apparent chips, cracks or defects. Measures approx. 2" tall. Origin est. 1950s. Take a look at the pictures for the best description. A photo is as good as a thousand words and is the best description of cosmetic condition. Use your ZOOM TOOL to best see this item!
