I own a few itineraries and brochures touting train travel to football games, one of which involved the 1957 Army-Navy game played in Philadelphia. Conveniently dropping its passengers at the Baltimore & Ohio station across the street from Philadelphia's Municipal Stadium, the trip had to be amazing.

The blue ink on yellow paper tells us the railroad considered Navy fans their primary audience, but it stopped in Washington and likely had a few ground pounders join them in traveling to the big game.
