Lightning Express Flyer

A flyer advertising the Lightning Express from San Francisco to Virginia City. This was a train ticket where passengers would travel direct between the two cities. The train would leave each city in the afternoon, and arrive at the other city the next morning. They would travel on the Central Pacific from San Francisco to Reno, and on the Virginia and Truckee from Reno to Virginia City.
