The Jamesville and Washington Railroad and Lumber Company was incorporated in 1869. By 1870, the first segment of a narrow-gauge railroad extended into the company's vast stands of timber south and east of Jamesville. Facetiously known as the "Jolt and Wiggle" for its uneven ride, the J&W made possible the expansion of large-scale timbering and small-scale farming into heretofore hinterlands in Jamesville, Griffins, Dymond City and Washington. [wikipedia] In 1894, the road was acquired by Norfolk & Southern Railway. # 240 with coupons 7-20 included. Three vignettes: mining, farming and railroad. Under print green $1000. Signed by president and three trustees. Corner and edge wear. Still nice.
