Kansas City Zephyr Dinner Menu

Here’s a dinner menu with the same date, March 1956, as yesterday’s lunch menu. This one is obviously marked for the Kansas City Zephyr instead of the Nebraska Zephyr, but I wouldn’t be surprised if all of the zephyrs during that time period had similar menu offerings along with similar menu covers.

Someone traveling on, say, the Twin Zephyr from Minneapolis to Chicago and then the Kansas City Zephyr from Chicago to Kansas City might be annoyed at being confronted by the same menu on both trains. Burlington’s commissary changed the menu every month, so dining car officials probably reasoned that, since it offered four different entrées on the lunch menus and six on the dinner menus, someone would have to ride quite a few trains in a single month before they would have to eat the same meal twice.

In the mid-1950s, someone at the Burlington Route decided that all Zephyr menus should follow a single brand standard. This standard dispensed with beautiful cover photos of trains or scenery and enticing descriptions of places to go by train on the back. Instead, it had the initials of the train on a vertical bar and the full name of the train in script written horizontally.

Though plain in design, the menus were printed on high-quality sheets of paper 14 inches wide by 21 inches tall, then folded in half horizontally, then folded vertically. This used more paper but made it possible to print the menu on one side only. Continue reading →

Burlington 1954 Dinner Menu

The illustration on this menu cover shows a Burlington E5 locomotive lettered “California Zephyr” pulling a train through Colorado’s Gore Canyon. Of course, no locomotives were ever lettered for the California Zephyr and Burlington locomotives are not likely to have ever led the CZ on Rio Grande tracks through Gore Canyon. Note that the pale green graphics show Chicago at upper left and the Bay Bridge at lower right.

The unrealistic nature of the image suggests that this illustration was made before the California Zephyr was actually put into service. I think I’ve seen it on some early menus. By 1954, when this menu came out, it was probably used only for tour groups. The group this menu was used for, the Elex Club, was an employee’s club associated with General Electric in Fort Wayne, Indiana that was taking a trip to California. Continue reading →

Yellowstone Falls Twin Zephyr Menu

Here’s another Twin Zephyr menu, this one dated 1950. By that time, Burlington had replaced the 1936 Twin Zephyrs with the world’s first domeliner in scheduled service, consisting of a baggage-refreshment car, four dome coaches, a diner and dome-observation car. This menu, of course, was used in the diner.

The original three-car (including locomotive) Twin Zephyrs featured in yesterday’s brochure had 88 seats, but the trains were so popular that Burlington immediately made plans to replace them with a six-car (plus locomotive) train that had 222 revenue seats. The new trains were placed in service on December 18, 1936, just 20 months after the originals.

We’ve previously seen a 1941 booklet advertising the Exposition Flyer. Today’s brochure was published in 1939 to announce the inauguration of that train on June 10. The train, said the brochure, would offer “fast new thru train service” between Chicago and California.

“Fast” was always relative in railroad advertising. The Exposition Flyer required about 60 hours to get from Chicago to Oakland. That was competitive with the San Francisco Overland Limited and Challenger, but not the sub-40-hour City of San Francisco or 50-hour 49er — but both of those trains only went five times a month.

Let the Burlington Show You the West

This 1937 Burlington vacation guide features cover art by Paul Proehl (1887-1965), who I am surprised to realize I haven’t mentioned before as he did work for both Chicago & North Western and Illinois Central. An Illinois native, Proehl received a degree in architecture from the University of Illinois in 1910. Apparently bored with that, he went to art school, probably at the Art Institute, and went to work as an advertising illustrator in 1918. In 1924, he joined the Chicago illustration studio Palanske-Young.

In the early 1930s, he did a series of posters for Illinois Central featuring Chicago and the Gulf Coast. Between 1938 and 1952, he painted the annual calendars as well as dining car menus for the Chicago & North Western. He also did work for, among others, Pierce-Arrow and Bridgestone Tires. He saw his work as seeking to “picture a striking, characteristic scene, and to present a considerable amount of information.” Continue reading →

The Original Twin Zephyrs

Yesterday’s brochure noted that the Twin Zephyrs were inaugurated in April, 1935, and each ran in the afternoon between Chicago and Minneapolis. By July, the trains had proven both reliable and popular enough for Burlington to schedule two daily round-trips. This required each train to go from one terminus to the other from 8 am to 3 pm, then back from 4 pm to midnight, allowing just one hour to turn and clean the trains.

Publicity Run of the Twin Zephyr

This brochure was apparently handed out on a publicity run of the original Twin Zephyr from Minneapolis to Chicago, as it notes that “Jack Ford, who piloted the first Zephyr” on its 1934 Denver-to-Chicago record-breaking trip, “will accompany the new Zephyr on its southern trip.” The brochure also notes that each of the new trains is “almost an exact counterpart or the first, the wonder train of 1934.”

The brochure brags about the stainless steel, the Diesel engine, and the air conditioning, all still fairly new concepts in 1935. It also says that the little trains will make their afternoon runs in seven hours, for an average speed of 63 miles per hour. The train’s inaugural run for paying passengers was April 21, 1935, so this brochure probably came out a few weeks before then.

In 1929, Burlington issued a California escorted tour booklet jointly with the Santa Fe railroad. That booklet described just one 22-day tour that went on the Santa Fe from Chicago to Los Angeles with stopovers in Santa Fe and the Grand Canyon, then on the Santa Fe to the Bay Area with a stopover in Yosemite, then a return via Western Pacific, Rio Grande, and Burlington.

Santa Fe isn’t listed as a co-organizer in subsequent Burlington Escorted Tour booklets, but this 1935 brochure gives it equal billing to Burlington. The brochure describes three tours, two of which are also in Burlington’s 1935 escorted tours booklet. The two that are also in the tour booklet went the CB&Q/D&RGW/WP route from Chicago to the Bay Area and the Santa Fe route from LA to Chicago, while the one not in the booklet went the other direction.
