Borrowing a phrase from Union Pacific (which had published western wonderlands’ booklets and brochures at least since 1929), this 26-page booklet (including a foldout in the back) describes the attractions to be found in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and British Columbia. It emphasizes, of course, that people can reach these attractions on CN’s Super Continental and Continental.

Manitoba and Saskatchewan get four pages each; British Columbia five; and Alberta — home to Jasper Lodge — six. Most of the pages are filled with black-and-white photos which, while crisp enough, don’t have the pizazz that color photos could have brought to this booklet.

Instead of being a map, the fold-out in back is a list of hotels and other tourist accommodations. Nearly all of the ones on the list are within a half-mile of a Canadian National train station except the ones around Jasper, which were accessible by motor coach. (Jasper Lodge itself was and is three miles from the Jasper station.)
The fold-out also lists prices, with Jasper Lodge being far more expensive than almost any other hotel at $15.50 a night whereas most are around $5 to $7. Of course, the Jasper Lodge price is on the American plan (meals included). But CN’s hotels in Edmonton and Winnipeg were only $5 and $6 a night on the European plan, and in 1956 a person could eat three squares for far less than $10.
The back cover has the only color photos in the booklet showing the interior of CN’s fairly new streamlined passenger cars. A lounge car was only open to sleeping car passengers while coach passengers could visit a coffee shop that had “budget-priced meals.” Curiously, no dining car is pictured.
CN’s 1956 timetable says that the Super Continental had a diner only between Winnipeg and Vancouver and a “dining room refreshment lounge” east of Winnipeg. It also had a coffee shop car for the entire journey and a “buffet-lounge” for sleeping car passengers between Toronto and Vancouver. The Continental also had a diner and coffee ship car west of Winnipeg plus a “dinette” from Montreal to Winnipeg and a buffet-lounge for sleeping car passengers from Montreal to Vancouver.
