The Transportation History Subject Files Collection has been separated into ten subject areas: Aeronautics, Biography, Railroads, Roads, Road Transit, Tourism, Urban Transit, Water, Water Transit, and General. These categories correspond with those used in the Print Collection, and folder headings have been coordinated as much as possible. For an explanation of the series headings, please refer to the finding aid for the small print collection. An exception is the biography series which is unique to the vertical file. It contains biographical information about persons involved with the history of transportation.

The Collection contains broadsides, timetables and advertisements separated from the small and medium print collections, as well as ticket stubs, travel brochures, menus, and souvenir booklets. Steamship deck plans are also found in the subject file collection.
