From its founding in 1865, the SP provided freight and passenger service for over a century to some 15 states (Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas and Utah). Like all larger railroads, the system resulted from numerous purchases and mergers, to include such fabled lines as the Central Pacific, Texas and New Orleans, Louisiana and Texas, and St. Louis-Southwestern (Cotton Belt) railroads. The SP system spanned from Chicago to Los Angeles and San Francisco. In 1988, the SP was acquired by the Rio Grande Railroad, but the new company kept the name of SP. The SP was later acquired by the Union Pacific (UP), and most surviving SP lines are now part of the UP system. For auction is a card advertising "Dollar Days" fares for the 1953 Labor Day period. Riders could depart Thursday-Friday-Saturday, September 3-4-5, return as late as Monday, September 14, and pay these fares. Round trip to Los Angeles was $10.25; Reno, $5,30; and Portland, $16.20.
