mileage books
Small books of a size convenient for the pocket issued by railroad companies to be purchased and used by passengers as tickets for transportation, each page, or perforated section, good for a specified number of miles of travel, to be removed from the book and taken up by the train conductor as used. Such books are frequently issued at a lower rate per mile than is charged for single trip tickets. 9 Am J2d Car § 811.
