Sir Charles Tennant (1823-1906), First Baronet, Merchant and Art Patron. Founder of chemical works at St. Rollox, Glasgow.

Attractive stock dated 1904 of the Chicago Terminal Transfer Railroad issued to Tennant and boldly signed at back. Excellent Condition. Rare! In July 1897, a new company called the Chicago Terminal Transfer Railroad (CTT) bought the Chicago & Northern Pacific RR from the Wisconsin Central RR. While the Wisconsin Central RR (and successor Soo Line Railroad) no longer had its own direct connection to the city, it continued to use the line to access Grand Central Station until 1899, and between 1912 and 1965. In May 1897, the Chicago Terminal Transfer merged the Chicago and Calumet Terminal. Item ordered may not be exact piece shown. All original and authentic.
