Creator(s): Currier & Ives.,
Date Created/Published: New York : Published by Currier & Ives, c1870.
Summary: Cornelius Vanderbilt and James Fisk are shown in a race for control of New York's rails. Throughout 1868 and 1869, the two men had fought for control of the Erie Railroad. (See also 'The Statue Unveiled,' no. 1869-1.) Here, Vanderbilt straddles his two railroads, the Hudson River and the New York Central, admonishing his competitor, 'Now then Jim--No Jockeying You Know.!' The dwarflike Fisk, sitting astride the Erie Railroad, replies, 'Let Em Rip Commodore--But Dont Stop to Water for You'll be Beat.'
