“Beginning June 18, the twin trains of the City of Denver will provide the only 16-hour, streamline train service between Chicago and Denver,” says this brochure. That dates it to 1936, the year the train began operation.

We’ve previously seen a 3-1/4″x5-1/2″ 28-page glossy booklet about the 1936 train. This brochure isn’t printed on such fine paper, but it has most of the same photographs as the booklet and much of the same text. The brochure unfolds out to 11″x16″, which means it has about 352 square inches of space compared to the 500 square inches in the booklet. Since four of the booklet pages are blank, it really isn’t much bigger than this brochure. However, thanks to the better paper, the photos in the glossy version are much clearer.
