Best guess is that this is not a poster, not 19th century, and not hand painted, but rather a piece of 20th century commercial cloth (note the repeating pattern) with a Central Pacific Railroad theme that someone has nicely mounted on a piece of board with some sewn on red edging. Could this have been made for a child's room c. 1969 when this was a popular theme due to the centennial?
What does it say on the white label in the lower right corner? Not legible in the picture.
Here are examples of actual CPRR posters.
