Ticket prices all depended upon the type of class (first, second, or third class) and how far you were going. For example, in 1890, a ticket from Cincinnati, OH, to Topeka, KS, cost $15 for a second class ticket. When the Transcontinental railroad opened, a first class ticket from Omaha to Sacramento was $111, a second class ticket $80, and a third class ticket $40. This is equivalent to roughly $1489, $1073, and $536, respectively, in today's money.
