The Scenic Canadian Rockies

Like yesterday’s item, this is a brochure, not a booklet. It is filled with color photos, including three of CN’s Super Continental, but the cover photo is simply not as dramatic as black-and-white photos used on earlier booklets. In addition, the already-boring yellow-and-green paint on the CN locomotive looks faded; within a year or so, CN will repaint the locomotive in its then-new but even more boring black, white, and red color scheme.

This brochure unfolds to be roughly 11″x33″. The right-most one inch of the front side of the brochure shows some cattle brands, apparently signifying the West. When the brochure is folded, these brands stick out from behind the cover that is shown above. We’ve seen this before on the 1958 edition of this brochure, only in that case an Indian bow was used in place of the cattle brands.
