These signs, once mounted on the observation cars of luxury and express trains, served as both branding and navigational aids. Featured are signs for notable routes such as the New York Central's "20th Century Limited," the Pennsylvania Railroad's "Broadway Limited," and the Alton Railroad's "Abraham Lincoln" and "Blue Bird," which connected Chicago and St. Louis.

Gateway Arch framed above the Old St. Louis County Courthouse in St. Louis, Missouri.
The Old Courthouse's cast-iron dome, completed in 1862, rises in front of the Gateway Arch in downtown St. Louis. The courthouse served as the site of the first two trials in the Dred Scott case, in which an enslaved man sued for his freedom, and later hosted Virginia Minor's 1870s lawsuit over women's voting rights. It's a National Historic Landmark and is administered by the National Park Service as part of Gateway Arch National Park.
