Rock Island at the World’s Fair

Posted on February 14, 2019 by Train LoverFebruary 4, 2019

Although Chicago’s 1933-1934 Century of Progress fair was usually called an “International Exhibition,” this booklet repeatedly calls it the “World’s Fair.” In fact, except for a line drawing of the Travel and Transport Building on page 2, there’s nothing about this booklet that connects it to the Chicago fair until the last page, which mentions Rock Island’s “chapter in A Century of Progress.”

In 1933, no one had any idea that the world of passenger railroading would be revolutionized by the trains introduced in the 1934 fair, the Union Pacific M-10000 and the Burlington Zephyr. This booklet illustrates numerous steam-powered trains with heavyweight equipment that was about to be rendered obsolete and replaced by Rock Island Rockets.

All-Expense Tours to Colorado

Posted on February 13, 2019 by Train LoverFebruary 3, 2019

In 1929, Rock Island was competing with Union Pacific and Burlington in offering both escorted and independent (unescorted) tours of Colorado. The two-week, escorted tours left from Chicago, St. Louis, Memphis, the Twin Cities, or Dallas-Ft. Worth every Saturday in the summer starting June 29 and ending August 31. Passengers from Des Moines, Omaha, St. Joseph, and Kansas City would leave the next morning. The tour price with a lower berth from Chicago was $178 (more than $2,500 today) including all transportation, lodging, and meals.

Since they were independent, the unescorted tours could leave any day. The booklet offered five fifteen-day tours and one fourteen-day tour. Most of the tours started at Colorado Springs, visiting Garden of the Gods and Pikes Peak. Then several went to Denver for one to three days followed by five to eight days in Rocky Mountain National Park. However, one spent most of the time in a resort called the Flower Garden in the San Isabel Forest while the economy tour spent the entire time at a hotel in Manitou. Tour prices from Chicago ranged from $125 to $250 ($1,800 to $3,600 in today’s dollars) depending on how many side trips, such as motor coach tours or horseback rides, were included.

Northern Pacific Blank Menus

Posted on February 12, 2019 by Train LoverFebruary 13, 2019

The eastbound North Coast Limited shown on the cover of this menu is missing one of its four dome cars and one of its two flat-topped coaches, suggesting it is a winter consist. According to the Ron V. Nixon Photo Archive, the photo was taken near Turah, Montana on May 21, 1958 (although the dates in the archive are not always reliable). Nixon was a Northern Pacific telegraph operator who took more than 20,000 railroad photographs in his lifetime, several of which the NP used on its menus and in other advertising.

The inside of this menu is blank, but the back cover advertises that NP bought or built 1,800 new freight cars, “17 miles” worth, in 1960 and was continuing to expand its fleet in 1961. That obviously dates this menu cover to 1961. Other NP menus featuring Nixon photos on the cover don’t have date-specific ads on the back, which means this one may be especially rare as it could only have been used for one or two years.

Northern Pacific 1958 Breakfast Menu

Posted on February 11, 2019 by Train LoverFebruary 3, 2019

Like the menus presented in the last couple of days, this one is an 8-1/2″x11″ card. But unlike those menus, this one comes with the slogan, “Route of the Vista-Dome North Coast Limited,” so it is possible it was used on that train rather than or in addition to the Mainstreeter.

The one item found on both this and the 1957 menus is the fish, which cost $1.10 in 1957 but $1.30 in 1958.

Northern Pacific 1957 Dinner Menu

Posted on February 10, 2019 by Train LoverFebruary 3, 2019

Here’s another menu that was probably used on the Mainstreeter. Compared with yesterday’s lunch menu, this one has a slightly more elaborate illustration of a train at the top of the menu rather than the bottom. The meals on the front of the card are also more elaborate, but the a la carte side is identical to the lunch menu.

Northern Pacific 1957 Lunch Menu

Posted on February 9, 2019 by Train LoverFebruary 3, 2019

The bottom of this menu has an illustration of a train that doesn’t have any dome cars, so the menu was likely used on the Mainstreeter or another secondary train, not the North Coast Limited. As an 8-1/2″x11″ card, not a folder, this menu isn’t as elegant as the folders that were used on the North Coast Limited, but it has an equally wide selection of foods.

Northern Pacific Ranch Vacations for 1956

Posted on February 8, 2019 by Train LoverFebruary 3, 2019

We’ve previously seen a 1947 ranch vacations booklet. This one has similar text and some of the same photos, but most of the photos are new. Like the 1947 version, but unlike dude ranch booklets from other railroads, this one doesn’t have a lengthy description of each dude ranch along the NP; instead it just lists them in a table in the back and shows their locations on a centerfold map.

The map shows nine different establishments in Jackson Hole, but only five of these are listed in the directory. Similarly, the 1947 map showed eight lodges or ranches in Jackson Hole, but listed only four in the directory. A fifth ranch in Jackson Hole, Triangle X (which is the only one in the Tetons that survives to this day), was listed in the 1947 directory but put in the wrong place on the map. I don’t see any other major errors or mapped ranches not listed in the directories, and can only suspect that NP made so many mistakes about Jackson Hole because it was so far off of its main line.

GM-Northern Pacific Ad

Posted on February 7, 2019 by Train LoverFebruary 3, 2019

I’ve shown this ad before in a post on Bern Hill’s artwork for General Motors. Since then I’ve acquired these sample advertisements distributed by the Kudner Agency of New York.

Northern Pacific 1948 Timetable

Posted on February 6, 2019 by Train LoverFebruary 4, 2019

Issued just a few months after the introduction of the semi-streamlined North Coast Limited, this timetable contains several pages of advertising for that train. This includes a description and photo of the observation car on the back cover plus two pages in the back showing the new kinds of accommodations available on the train: roomettes, duplex roomettes, double bedrooms, and compartments, most of which would have been unfamiliar to people used to heavyweight trains.

Those pages are attached to a curious little page in the front that is only 2-3/4-inches wide. The back of this page is blank while the front says, “For the last word in travel luxury, see pages 33A, 33B, and back cover.” The operative word here is “last” for more reasons than one.

North Coast Limited Breakfast Menu

Posted on February 5, 2019 by Train LoverFebruary 3, 2019

This menu is dated June, 1948, so it was used on the semi-streamlined North Coast Limited, though the menu makes no mention of streamlining or includes advertising of any kind. The back of the elegant orange folder is completely blank.

Unlike the Great Northern, which inaugurated its streamlined Empire Builder with great fanfare on February 23, 1947, the Northern Pacific did not have an inaugural run for its streamlined North Coast Limited. Instead, it simply replaced heavyweight cars with streamlined cars as they arrived. First, it added streamlined coaches (and the coach-buffet car) at about the same time Diesels replaced steam in January, 1947. But streamlined dining and Pullman sleeping cars weren’t added until 1948. Tourist sleepers and sleeping cars destined to Yellowstone remained heavyweights for several more years, so even in June 1948 the railway couldn’t honestly call its premiere train a streamliner.
