Piece of the glass puzzle question

[CurbdiggerCarl]

I'm apologizing beforehand about this question.
Out here in Denver we are hunting a site, where depending on the planets alignment with the stars, we are either allowed to dig, or promptly kicked off the property.
One foreman says we can dig, the other has a myocardial when he see's us.
Anyway, the last time we were there and asked to leave, my buddy dug a partial plate, that sadly we left at the site.
The glass was amber, about 1/4" thick, and what I could make out was a man on a horse, facing to the right, and underneath was the word "railroad"
Mainly curious if it was a whiskey, or possibly a bitters.
I figured that this was the site that I would have the best chance of this question being resolved.
Thanks in advance..

I'm going to guess a "Success to the Railroad" historical flask... Woulda been a very good bottle! Any idea the age of the site you were digging? I think these bottles go back to the 1840's! Other, more flask-oriented people will come along and help out some more... I'd suggest a picture of your shard so they can help you.

The one my buddy dug had a man on a horseback facing right, and underneath had the word "railroad', or possibly "rail-yard"
(More than likely railroad)
The site is mainly 1890's, but with some late throws of 1880's.
Kinda glad it wasn't that "Success" bottle, that would have been a real heart-breaker!
Thanks for the input,
Carl

Gotta think about this one but want to stay connected with the thread. 1880 - 90. Hmmm!

Really wish I had just pocketed the piece, but we were all in a rush to leave.
I'd say it was about 3x4", amber, maybe darker, and the man on the horse was fairly crude,
maybe an inch tall, at the most.
Mostly Hutches, and pharmacy's being dug there, this piece stood out.
