Colorado & Utah Via Milwaukee Road

When the Milwaukee Road took over the Chicago-Omaha portion of Union Pacific’s passenger trains from Chicago & North Western, no doubt UP expected Milwaukee to do its best to advertise those trains. It may have even been eager to do so. This booklet advertises all sorts of places that the Milwaukee Road itself didn’t reach, but the City trains did.

Nine pages of the booklet cover Colorado destinations, 6-1/2 pages of Utah/Arizona, 3-1/2 of Las Vegas/Hoover Dam, one of Sun Valley, and two promoting dude ranches. Three pages, including the back cover, advertise dome cars. One photo shows a superdome, but all others are of Union Pacific domes.
