The Washington-Sunset Route

Posted on July 26, 2018 by Train LoverJuly 19, 2018

This booklet advertises the New Orleans connection between the Sunset Limited and Crescent, allowing passengers to go from coast to coast. As mentioned here previously, this “Washington-Sunset Route” was advertised from 1946 to 1949 and again from 1954 to 1956.

It also mentions that the Southern Piedmont connected with the Southern Pacific Argonaut. Continue reading →

Views of the Coast & Valley Route

Posted on July 25, 2018 by Train LoverJuly 19, 2018

Here we have the Alex Dulfer Kodachrome version of the packet of Coast and Valley photos. Many of these seem to be deliberate re-creations of the photos included in the National Color Press folio: photos of the Golden Gate Bridge, Yosemite Falls, Tehachapi Loop, and Cypress Point all seem to have been taken at nearly the same spots.

At the same time, this folio only shares three photos with the Dulfer Shasta and Overland packets: the same three as those two share with each other, the Golden Gate, Bay Bridge, and boats at Fisherman’s Wharf. So people willing to pay $1 for this folio (about $10 in today’s money) wouldn’t get as many duplicates as were found in the National Color Press packages. Continue reading →

Views of the Overland Route

Posted on July 24, 2018 by Train LoverJuly 13, 2018

Here is Alex Dulfer’s version of sixteen color photos for the Overland Route. Like the Shasta Route photos, they are better quality than the National Color Press photos, or at least they have aged better.

Three of the photos — of the Golden Gate Bridge, Fisherman’s Wharf, and Bay Bridge — are identical to photos in the Shasta Route set. Other photos correspond to ones in the National Color Press Overland Route set: the Mormon Temple, Lucin Cutoff, Palisade Canyon, Reno, Lake Tahoe, California’s capitol building — but they are taken from different angles and different times of the day. Instead of photos of Yosemite Park and giant sequoias, this packet has photos of San Francisco’s Chinatown, the Truckee River, and Virginia City. Continue reading →

Views of the Shasta Route

Posted on July 23, 2018 by Train LoverJuly 13, 2018

Some time after 1948 — I’m guessing around 1950 — a company called Alex Dulfer Lithographing issued a new set of 16 color photos of the Shasta Route. Like the National Color Press set, these would have been sold in train stations and on board Southern Pacific trains. Unlike the National Color Press set, the colors in these photos appear much more realistic.

Also unlike my version of the National Color Press edition, this one includes an actual photo of a train, which of course is the Shasta Daylight by Odell Lake, perhaps Southern Pacific’s favorite spot to photograph the train. Since the train began service in 1949, it wouldn’t have been available to include in the 1948 photo set. Continue reading →

Scenic Views Along the Coast & Valley Routes

Posted on July 22, 2018 by Train LoverJuly 13, 2018

After discarding all of the photographs that are duplicates of ones in other sets in this series, this packet has even fewer unique photos than the Overland Route folio. Just two photos, one of Hollywood Boulevard and one of “the world’s largest motion picture studio,” aren’t found in any of the other photo sets. My guess is the movie studio is Warner Brothers, but it could also be Fox, MGM, or Paramount.

As with the other sets by National Color Press, the colors in this one are far from natural. Hills by Santa Barbara look like terraces at Yellowstone’s Mammoth Hot Springs. Coit Tower is yellow. As shown below, even the colors of SP trains were off. This might be understandable if the artist had never actually seen the scenes in the photos, but National Color was in San Francisco, so the artist had to have seen many of them every day.

Scenic Views on the Overland Route

Posted on July 21, 2018 by Train LoverJuly 21, 2018

If you already had the other folios of scenes along the Southern Pacific — the Shasta Route, California, San Francisco, and Grandeur of the West — you might be disappointed to learn that thirteen of the sixteen photos in the Overland Route packet are found in one or more of the others. The only unique photos show the Mormon Temple (mislabeled the Mormon Tabernacle), Palisade Canyon in Nevada, and Reno.

The most popular photo appears to be of the Golden Gate Bridge. Nearly the same photo is in all of the packets, though two of them show the same scene as the other four taken from a slightly different angle probably just a few moments apart. For the record, the California folder has four unique photos; the West has five; the Shasta has nine; and the San Francisco folder has eleven (one of which, showing a Golden Gate Park windmill, is missing from my set but is shown below).

Scenic Views on the Shasta Route

Posted on July 20, 2018 by Train LoverJuly 13, 2018

This packet of sixteen color photos is similar to photo sets we’ve seen before of San Francisco, California, and the West. There was also one for the Overland Route which I’ll post tomorrow and one for the California Coast and Valley routes which I’ll post the day after that. All of the ones published in 1948 or before were issued for Southern Pacific by a San Francisco company called National Color Press and sold in stations and on board SP trains.

Although the cover has a drawing of a streamlined train, this packet was issued in 1948, the year before Southern Pacific inaugurated its streamlined Shasta Daylight. A few of the photos show SP tracks or were taken from very close to the tracks, but none show actual trains, probably because SP didn’t want to feature obsolete equipment. Continue reading →

Mission San Xavier Menu

Posted on July 19, 2018 by Train LoverJune 23, 2018

Southern Pacific was reputed to have excellent dining car service before passenger ridership nosedived after World War II, but you wouldn’t know it from menus such as this one. Printed on flimsy paper, it’s really just an 8-1/2″x11″ sheet folded in half.

A Trip to Chicago in Natural Color

Posted on July 18, 2018 by Train LoverJune 23, 2018

SP’s 1938 brochure for the budget-priced Californian was printed in black-and-white with red trim. For 1940, SP issued an all-new brochure printed in “natural color,” meaning Kodachrome photographs printed with the CYMK four-color process. Although this is a great improvement, the colors all look a little off to me, perhaps a little too much magenta and a little too contrasty.

Unlike most railroad advertising, this one names many of the passengers shown in the pictures as well as the two photographers, one of whom shows up in one of the pictures. The implication is that these aren’t just models. One of the photographers, Seymour Snaer, was certainly real; at least, there was a Seymour Snaer from Oakland who worked as a freelance photographer when this brochure was made.

1935 Overland Limited Lunch Menu

Posted on July 17, 2018 by Train LoverFebruary 16, 2024

The San Francisco Overland Limited was one of Southern Pacific’s premiere trains. Yet this lunch menu is little more than an ordinary sheet of paper, slightly larger than 8-1/2″-by-11″, folded in thirds like a brochure. The menu is undated, but a black-and-white photo shows a track meet that a caption identifies as the West Coast Relays, the ninth annual session of which “will gather at Fresno May 11.” Since the relays started in 1927, that dates the menu to 1935.

Despite the cheapness of the menu paper, the menu itself is quite appealing. A table d’hôte panel offers seven entrées: striped bass, fresh vegetables, lamb casserole, veal cutlets, minced chicken & ham, club steak, and tenderloin tips, all with soup, vegetables, potatoes, salad, bread, dessert, and beverage. The a la carte panel lists two kinds of fish, five hot and five cold meats, and a much wider variety of vegetables, soups, salads, breads, desserts, and beverages than would be found on post-war dining car menus. A third panel lists beverages and things like playing cards, tobacco, and a Southern Pacific recipe book.
