Railroad Matchcover Collection

 Welcome to my Railroad Match cover web site. Here you will view a by-gone era of railroad advertising and art work. This site is a work in progress. I currently have approximately 1200+ covers and matchbooks in my collection and there are others out there who even have more.
 I don't think anyone really knows how many railroad matchcovers still survive. I do know that there are thousands of covers that I don't have!
If you have any covers that I don't have here and would like to sell or trade them
please contact me and maybe we can work something out.

If your not interested in parting with the covers that you have maybe you can send me a good scan if you have something that is not shown here
and I can add it along with a note stating who's collection it is from.

Click on a railroad name below to view the match cover(s) for that road.
A new page will open up showing the match covers. When you are done just click on the "X" in the upper right corner to close the page or on the newer pages click on "Home" to return to this page.
I have posted multiple views including the backs of the covers when there is something there.
I do have covers from all of the roads listed below and as time permits I will scan them and add the links so you can view them.

I hope you enjoy viewing them!

Not matchcover related, just a plug for my other railroad websites.
I have two other railroad websites that contain railroad photos for viewing,
PLUS I am now offering railroad color prints and enlargements for sale which are great for modeling or just to add to your collection.

You can check the photos that I'm selling at this link. Houghton's RailImages Photos
