The Canadian Experience

This three-panel brochure is undated, but the hair and clothing styles are obviously (and embarrassingly) from the 1970s. VIA took over Canadian Pacific passenger operations in 1978, so the brochure is from sometime before that.

“Welcome to The Canadian experience…where we turn journeys into holidays,” the brochure begins. Although the brochure could serve as an advertisement for the train, it appears from the text that it was used as a welcome-aboard brochure. It tells about the coaches, sleeping cars, dining/lounge facilities, and domes.
