Train Ticket!
Submitted by Devanf on Wed, 01/09/2008 - 18:52.
This is a picture of a train ticket. It was used for getting on the train. (If you did not have one, you would get kicked off.) You could buy them at all train stations around the Island.
Train tickets were made out of paper. They were used when trains were used around the late 1800's, and people still use the tickets to get on trains today.
A train ticket would probably be around 20 cents - $3 back then. The train was the most common way of transportation in the late 1800's, and to get on the train you needed to buy a ticket.
