The story references a real life railroad company, or train line. 

There is an advertisement for a railroad company or train line.

Thanks for the help. I don't think I'll have a ton of luck because it seems the farther back you go the more comic books were just for kids... kids buy candy and toys, not tourism.

There is a comic called something like George Washington's Railroad.  Its a supposedly accurate story of a railroad laid out over a road George Washington designed. The cover has George surveying while a steam ship rolls up the river. Hopefully, everyone sees the problem with that.

I picked up a copy as part of a collection. Didn't pay any attention to it until I saw some completed sales.

 

This is the only comic I know of about a specific line, the rest seem pretty generic.

Is there a date on that book. I can't find one.

Not sure if these fit or not.  I didn't look at the actual story but these are in the public domain so you can check them on https://comicbookplus.com/?cid=1507 or https://digitalcomicmuseum.com/

Real Life Comics #11 has a story titled, "Leland Stanford Railroad Pioneer of the West."

Real Life Comics #39 has a story titled, "Railroads on Parade."

Real Life Comics #40 has another story titled, "Railroads on Parade."

I hate it when people show up, ask a question and we spend some time researching and never hear a peep from them.  I know he did peep once I hope he answers this.
