Depends on what the ticket was for. Commuter tickets were about the size of an index card; they weren't given up, they were punched by the Conduct. and handed back to the patron. One way tickets were pasteboards about like movie tickets; they would be collected by the Conductor. The inter-line tickets were wild...some could be 8" or more long. As the patron reached the next leg of the trip, the Captain of the next train would tear off the section of the ticket pertaining to his railroad. By the end of the trip, the ticket is gone!
