Here are some blotters whose scans were contributed by the same reader who gave us the Southern Pacific menus a few days ago. The first one features a January, 1927 calendar, but from the Merry Christmas message it clearly was issued in 1926.

The blotter was issued by SP’s agent in Chicago but includes a map that shows that SP didn’t come close to Chicago. That must have made it hard to argue with “all the way by Santa Fe.” The map does show the route of Morgan Line steamships, which was owned by Southern Pacific, allowing travelers to go from Los Angeles to New York via New Orleans without using any of SP’s competitors.

The last blotter, from 1941, advertises the Sunset Limited and Argonaut between New Orleans and Los Angeles as well as the Acadian from New Orleans to Houston. Note that the Sunset and Argonaut left New Orleans twelve hours apart from one another, which allowed almost every community along the route to be served by a train in daylight hours. However, due to extra stops along the way, the Argonaut took three more hours to reach Los Angeles than the premiere Sunset Limited.
