These blotters from the Dale Hastin collection all relate to Milwaukee’s Puget Sound Extension, often abbreviated PSE. The PDFs range from about 350 to 600 KB in size.
The Olympian was inaugurated in 1909, but the “new” Olympian referred to in this blotter was from 1927–the same year as the new Pioneer Limited mentioned on an earlier blotter. Both trains were among the first in the country to be equipped with roller bearings. Arthur Brisbane, quoted on the blotter, was a leading editor for the Hearst papers whose columns were read by millions of people. A 1927 booklet about the roller-bearinged Olympian can be downloaded here.
This blotter of indeterminate date promises the lowest fares east on the Olympian Hiawatha. The electric locomotive in the illustration was manufactured in 1919, so that doesn’t help date it. Someone with year-by-year information on Seattle passenger agents could probably date it, but for now we’ll have to guess it is from the 1930s.
This one is easier to date.
The Olympian Hiawatha began service in June, 1947, but this blotter doesn’t seem to excited about it, so it must be from a few years later.
In addition to the Olympian Hiawatha, this blotter mentions the Columbian, which means it must date from before 1955, when that train was cancelled. This is one of the few blotters I’ve seen that used photos instead of graphics.
