Honor railroad history with this vintage-inspired tribute to one of the South's most distinctive railway companies.
This premium cotton t-shirt features the iconic St. Louis Southwestern Railroad logo with an authentic distressed, cracked vintage aesthetic that captures the weathered spirit of American railroading.
Founded in 1891, St. Louis Southwestern Railroad became widely known as the "Cotton Belt Route" for its role in transporting cotton from Texas and Arkansas to markets in St. Louis, serving the agricultural heartland with its distinctive blue and white livery and cotton bale logo.
The railroad's independent operations came to an end in 1992 when it was fully absorbed by Southern Pacific Railroad, marking the conclusion of 101 years as a specialized agricultural railroad that had faithfully served the cotton-producing regions of the Southwest.
