Here, from her collection, are three psychedelically colored blotters issued by the Rio Grande Railroad in the mid-1930s. The first blotter mentions air conditioning, which means they are later than 1931, and the Scenic Limited and Panoramic, which means they are from before 1939 when the Exposition Flyer replaced the Panoramic. Although the Panoramic operated before 1931, it didn’t run from late 1931 through 1934, so the blotter must be from 1934 through 1938.

The Rock Island Railroad was known for its Rocket streamliners, but this blotter advertises the Rio Grande’s Rocket freight train. This was supposed to be a “Colorado merchants overnight freight,” but the blotter gives no clue about what cities the train connected.
