Santa Fe Traveler for 1951

The Santa Fe Traveler continued into its second year starting with this issue. Like volume 1, number 1, this one is edited by Penrose Scull, but instead of being published by the Traveler Publishing Co. of Chicago, this one claims its publisher is Cross Country Press of New York City. Scull must have decided to move and took the magazine, but not the company name, with him.

While the previous issue said it would be published twice a year, this one says four times, suggesting that it attracted enough advertising to pay most or all of its costs. This issue certainly has a lot more ads than the previous one, which must have eaten into the content as the page count is the same and the pages are actually a little smaller — about 8-1/4×10-3/4 compared to the inaugural issue’s 8-3/4×11-1/2.

The Santa Fe Traveler

Major airlines today all entertain passengers with in-flight magazines and Amtrak started its own on-board magazine, The National, in 2016. But the Santa Fe was way ahead of Amtrak, having started its own on-board magazine in 1950.

This, the first issue of that magazine, is dated 1950 and says it is to be “published twice a year April and October by the Traveler Publishing Co., Inc., 208 South La Salle St., Chicago 4, Ill. Penrose Scull, editor and publisher.” I suspect the Traveler Publishing Co. was little more than a front for the Santa Fe Railway, but Alfred Penrose Scull was a real person who wrote at least two books, one on Great Ships and one on “the history of selling in America.” Continue reading

Scout Dinner Menu

To round out yesterday’s lunch menu and the previous day’s breakfast menus, here is a dinner menu from Santa Fe’s budget train that offers complete dinners for 35¢ (about $6.50 today). The a la carte menu card shown below doesn’t have the word “dinner” on it, but the paper-clipped flyer does.

At that price, entrées were limited to Irish lamb stew with fresh vegetables or assorted cold meats with potato salad.

Scout Breakfast Menu

By 1941 the cost of three meals had increased to $1.50, so this menu, which offers a full breakfast for 25¢, must be from 1940 or before.

Rio Grande 1954 Calendar

This calendar hasn’t aged well, but the colors in the photo are still vibrant. A close-up view of the photo reveals that the lead locomotive is numbered 5541, which would make it an F3 according to this Diesel roster. Rio Grande purchased sixteen of these — eight A units and eight B units — in 1950.

The locomotive is still in its as-delivered paint scheme with four pinstripes instead of the simplified scheme that was applied in the early 1960s. This scenic view is certainly inviting and it would have been fun to ride the California Zephyr on these same tracks in the 1950s.

Royal Gorge Lunch Menu

While yesterday’s Twin Lakes menu had a photo of the Royal Gorge on the back, this one has it on the front. The photo on the back is the classic shot of two California Zephyrs meeting at Grizzly siding in Glenwood Canyon.

Inside, today’s menu is identical to yesterday’s. Both menus used the dates “June 25-26,” which indicates that the Prairie Farmer tour took the Royal Gorge route rather than the Moffat Tunnel route. While the latter would get from Denver to Salt Lake City in one day, the former route was longer and required an overnight trip. Either way, there was only one opportunity for lunch, which is why the menu interiors are identical. Continue reading

Twin Lakes Lunch Menu

In 1950, Rio Grande changed from the glued-on photo menus such as the one presented yesterday to nearly full-page photos printed on both the fronts and backs of the menus. Today’s photo shows one of the Twin Lakes, which is also the name of a nearby community in Lake County. In 1951, when this menu was issued, passengers taking the Royal Gorge from Denver who wanted to visit Twin Lakes would probably get off at Malta, about 12 to 14 miles away (depending on which lake).

The Prospector Dinner Menu

This menu has a rare color photo of the Prospector during the brief time that it was a heavyweight train. The train itself was unusual in that it started out as a streamlined train, was replaced by a heavyweight train, and then replaced again as a mostly streamlined train.

Most accounts of the train only briefly mention the heavyweight years (1945-1950) and rarely mention the color scheme. My own account says it was “yellow with four black pinstripes.” It turns out I had it backwards: it was black with yellow pinstripes, as shown in this model, matching the railroad’s early Diesel paint scheme. Both the Diesels and the passenger cars were repainted yellow with black pinstripes when streamlined cars arrived for the Prospector in 1950. Continue reading
