About This Design

Railway Express Police Badge Coffee Mug

Railway Express Police Badge Coffee Mug

From www.railphotoexpress.biz Railroad police and Railway Express Police in the United States goes back to the beginnings of the Pinkerton National Detective Agency. In the mid nineteenth century, the number of Federal Marshals was insufficient to police the vast railroad network. Through his detective business, Allan Pinkerton met George B. McClellan, the president of the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad and Illinois Central Railroad, as well as its attorney, Abraham Lincoln. With Lincoln's encouragement, Pinkerton began supplying detectives for the railroad. Railroad contracts were a mainstay of Pinkerton's until The Railroads and The Railway Express gradually developed their own police departments in the years following the Civil War. After the founding of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers in 1863, Pinkerton's and the new railroad police agencies were used to crush strikes of railroad workers and fight railroad and train robberies. Another major concern was pilferage by employees, especially the passenger conductor,and the Express Company men who had the greatest authority and freedom on passenger trains and collected ticket and express fees. Allan Pinkerton in 1855, created the North West Police Agency with $10,000 given for the cause by several Midwest railroads.

Creator Review
I like to buy and review my own work to ensure you get an outstanding product and I’m happy to give the Primary Colours Beach Football Mug 5 stars because it meets my expectations completely. Pleased with it I am. Zazzle mugs are well fabricated, microwave and dishwasher safe. And this yellow red and blue panoramic wraparound motif is sealed with a durable and sparkling Orca polished gloss glaze finish. It’ll never rub off! The size and energy of two jostling figures and a burly goal keeper fit the mug's circular shape well. There's momentum in the carousel effect as the two jostling figures repeat and move right around the mug and meet a burly goal keeper. Big sharp original images precisely drawn and delicately captured in blue and red with plenty of bright yellow! An ideal gift for anyone who plays ball! A fun gift for all beachball and football fans. A pair with the Retro Grey-Grain Beachball Player Mug. Available in two sizes and several styles including Black Ringer, Travelling, and Stern. Go have a peek!
