The Streamliner City of Portland

We’ve seen these little postcard-sized booklets before for the City of Denver, 49er, Pony Express, Portland Rose, City of Los Angeles, and many other trains. While the Book of Trains was published at least five years before this one, this is the earliest one I’ve seen for a specific train.

The booklet provides a detailed description of the M-10001, which was organized very differently from the classic train of coaches, diner, sleeping cars, and observation car. Instead, the M-10001 had the diner behind the baggage car, followed by three sleeping cars. The last car was a coach that wasted the round tail by putting a kitchen in it.

The single coach had 54 seats, while the sleeping cars had 52 beds in sections and 12 beds in bedrooms or compartments. In addition to the usual curtains, the sections offered aluminum privacy screens so they were almost individual rooms. The diner had 30 seats plus a tiny lounge with ten seats. Presumably, the diner served dinner to sleeping car passengers in up to three seatings while coach passengers ordered “light meals and luncheons” from the rear kitchen and ate on drop-down trays.

This booklet is undated, but the M-10001 began serving as the City of Portland in May, 1935, so it was probably issued in 1935. According to Wikipedia, the M-10002, originally used as the City of Los Angeles, replaced the M-10001 as City of Portland in late 1937, while the M-10001 ran between Portland and Seattle. But Kratville’s Union Pacific Streamliners says the M-10002 didn’t replace the M-10001 until 1939, which makes more sense because there’s no need for three sleeping cars on a train between Portland and Seattle. In any case, the M-10001 was parted out in 1939 to build other trains and the remainder scrapped in 1941.
