Alaska (Incorporated in New Jersey), 1905. 100 Shares I/U Capital Stock Certificate, Black text with brown border and underprint, Train exiting busy terminal at top center. VF condition, ABNC. The Council City and Solomon River railroad was founded on March 27, 1902, in New Jersey. The line was planned to run from Dickson, at the mouth of the Solomon River, 134 miles to the mines at City Council, traversing the Seward Peninsula. Construction on the line began later that year, and the first locomotives (used since 1881 on the New York Elevated Railroad) and cars were delivered the following year. Its name refers to Solomon River and the city of Council in the Nome Census Area. The railway operated from 1903 to 1907. The remains of the abandoned railroad can be found at Mile 31 of the Nome-Council Highway, comprising three locomotives, two flat cars and a boiler and were listed as an historic district on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001. Rare Alaska Railroad.
