This booklet is 12 pages longer than yesterday’s, and most of it is spent lauding the virtues of tropical beaches, warm ocean waters, and fabulous resorts. The booklet includes several photos of streamlined trains but doesn’t list any names of trains. One photo is of the Dixie Flagler, which went from Chicago to Miami via the Chicago & Eastern Illinois, Louisville & Nashville, and Atlantic Coast Line, but we only know that because of the tailsign in the photo. (In fact, all of the exterior train photos are probably of this train.)

The recreation car with its hostess and orchestra has been replaced by a tavern-lounge car. Other interior photos show the diner and people playing bridge at a table in one of the coaches.

This postcard shows a Florida East Coast streamliner pulled by a locomotive named Henry M. Flagler, which is probably also the name of the train. The winter-only Henry M. Flagler began operating between Jacksonville and Miami on December 3, 1939. In December 1940, the coaches on this train were included as a part of daily Chicago-Miami service.

FEC must have sold its hotels since 1937, as the booklet barely mentions them except to note that the Hotel Ormond “is one of the original Flagler chain of resort establishments.” Instead of promoting this chain, however, the booklet awkwardly informs readers that, “At all of the places mentioned in this booklet, good hotels are available.”
