Description
1976 NY & Long Branch RR Used Calendar Month Ticket Nov Serial 1238 NJ-NY. Offered here is an original November 1976 calendar month ticket issued by The New York and Long Branch Railroad Company, serial number 1238. This ticket permitted unlimited rides between Long Branch, New Jersey, and New York City for the designated month, and was valid for travel via the Central Railroad of New Jersey or Penn Central lines. The recto features the railroad’s name, route details, a large diagonal “NOV-76” date, and a calendar grid, along with an official’s signature. Numerous punch holes throughout the grid and along the edges attest to its active use by a commuter during the period. The reverse side provides the printed terms and conditions of use, specifying that the ticket was valid only for the purchaser, whose signature line remains blank. The card is printed on sturdy yellow cardstock and retains its original color and legibility, though it shows typical signs of handling and validation from regular use. This piece offers a tangible connection to New Jersey’s railroading history and would make an excellent addition to any collection of transportation or regional ephemera.
