A pair of US 'Railroad company' notes, featuring (surprisingly) trains!

Re: Trains and ships on banknotes
Here is an attractive Chinese bank note featuring a ship and a train.
I have not been able to identify the note beyond its being of Chinese origin.
EDIT:
After a reverse image search on the web, I managed to identify the note as being a Bank of Communications 10 dollar note dated 1 September 1912, and located an image of the obverse, which happens to be of the same note!
This may well be quite a rarity.

Re: Trains and ships on banknotes
A very attractive engraving of the sailing ship, which is on all denominations of the series.
This early £100 is one of the rarer notes in the series in nice grade too, in a similar league as the Irish 1928 £100 notes.
