Southern Pacific June 1936 Timetable

This timetable represents a momentous occasion: the introduction of the streamlined City of San Francisco, the first regularly scheduled streamliner to operate on the Southern Pacific. The full-page ad on the front cover announces “an entirely new kind of train, streaking between Chicago and San Francisco in 39-3/4 hours, cutting a full day from regular schedules!”

The Story of Mexico

Today’s booklet was advertised in yesterday’s timetable as an “example of the principles of fine book-making applied to travel literature.” While it only superficially resembles a fine book, it is certainly a lavish travel booklet. At 9″x12″, it is much bigger than the usual 8″x9″ railroad booklets. It is also printed on extra heavy-duty paper that wouldn’t ever be found in a fine book and only in the highest quality travel literature.

The colorful cover has been carefully designed to look like a woven blanket or rug. Inside, the endpapers are blank (as they would be in a fine book) except for a map glued into the inside front cover. Unfold the page once to see a beautiful painting showing three historic modes of travel: a stagecoach in the middle, a nineteenth-century steam locomotive pulling a passenger train of wooden cars on the left, and a then-modern steam locomotive, probably a 4-6-2 Pacific, pulling steel passenger cars over a high bridge on the right. All of these scenes are supposed to be representative of Nayarit, one of the Mexican states served by SP. Continue reading

Southern Pacific January 1936 Timetable

This timetable advertises a 32-page booklet about Mexico sold by SP for 25 cents (about $5 today), calling it “an effective example of the principles of fine book-making applied to travel literature.” I’ll present this booklet here tomorrow.

The ad doesn’t say so, but each of the coffee table-quality books features a colorful cover painting by Maurice Logan. I have some of these books, but they are glue-bound and I haven’t figured out how to scan them without destroying the binding. When I do, I’ll post them here.

A New Way to Old Mexico

This brochure promotes the Playa De Cortés (Cortés Beach) Hotel and travel to Mexico in general on SP’s route down the West Coast of that nation. The brochure is undated, but it does say that the hotel will open “starting in the late fall of 1935,” so the brochure must have been issued earlier in 1935.

Starting out at about 8-1/2″x11″, this brochure unfolds three times to be 35-1/2″x22-1/4″. One half of the front focuses on the new hotel, whose rates (it says) would be $6 to $10 per night ($120 to $200 in today’s money). That’s on the American plan (three meals included), so presumably those are rates per person, not per room. The entire back of the brochure is a giant map of Mexico that was “reproduced by permission of the Los Angeles Times” illustrated with sketches by L.A. Times staff artist Charles Owens.

SP August 1935 System Timetable

We’ve already seen an SP timetable dated August, 1935, but that one was 16 pages long. This one is 48 pages and includes lots of local and branchline trains that aren’t listed on the other one. The shorter one also collapses the station index from three pages to one and reduces the timetables for each of SP’s major routes from six or seven pages down to one or two, but still has room for a page listing Pullman fares between various points.

Southern Pacific March 1934 Timetable

Comparing this timetable to the 1929 edition presented a few days ago shows the toll the Depression took on passenger service. Where that timetable had two trains a day between New Orleans and Los Angeles, three a day between Chicago and L.A., four a day between Chicago and San Francisco, and five a day between San Francisco and Portland, this one was down one to two trains a day on all of those routes. There were still five trains a day between San Francisco and L.A. on the coast route and three on the San Joaquin route.

Three More Michel Kady Menus

Here are more Southern Pacific menus featuring covers by Bay Area artist Michel Kady. These were used during a trip by the 1934 University of Southern California football team to play the University of Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh. USC lost that game 20-6 and did not have a good season that year, winning only one of their in-conference games (against Oregon) and tying one (against Oregon State).

The first menu shows a golf course “along California’s scenic coast line,” which probably means Pebble Beach. The fully priced a la carte dinner menu inside is dated Wednesday, October 10. It is possible that a table d’hôte insert was included but has since been lost. Continue reading

Southern Pacific Chinatown Menu

The painting on the cover of this menu is signed Michel Kady, a San Francisco Bay Area artist who lived from 1901 to 1977. In addition to doing ads for other California companies such as North American Aviation, Kady’s art was featured by the Southern Pacific on at least two posters and several menus. Beyond his commercial clients, Kady was known for his fine art works of California scenes.

The Shriners liked to hold their national conventions in San Francisco, including ones in 1946 and 1965. But in the early 1930s, when this menu would have been used, their convention was held in 1932 and attracted nearly 15,000 Shriners.

Southern Pacific July 1929 Timetable

The cover of this timetable is in poor condition, with more than half of it missing, but the rest is very readable. The train names are more familiar than those on yesterday’s timetable, with Sunset Limited/Argonaut on the Sunset route, Golden State Limited/Apache/Californian on the Golden State route, and Overland Limited/Pacific Limited/San Francisco Limited/Gold Coast on the Overland route.

The San Francisco/Los Angeles coast route had five daily trains, the Coaster, Lark, Padre, Sunset Limited, Shore Line, and Daylight (though not the red-and-orange Daylight we are familiar with). All except the Daylight and Shore Line were overnight trains. Three more trains connected Oakland with Los Angeles on the San Joaquin route, the San Joaquin, Tehachapi, and Owl.

Fans of the Oregon Coast could take one of two trains a day from Eugene to Marshfield or a daily train from Portland to Tillamook. Both routes stopped at several coastal towns; rumor had it that SP built these lines to keep the Spokane, Portland & Seattle from continuing its line to Seaside down the coast into California.

Southern Pacific March 1908 Timetable

The Streamliner Memories reader who contributed scans for most of the Union Pacific timetables presented in the last few weeks also provided scans for four dozen Southern Pacific timetables and fare schedules that I’ll be presenting over the next two months. Today we have a 1908 timetable that seems to be from a completely different world from the mid-century ones we are used to.

Instead of the Overland Limited and Sunset Limited, this timetable advertises the Overland Express and Sunset Express.

The Sunset Express was joined by the Golden State Limited and an El Paso Express as far as El Paso, but there was no secondary train between New Orleans and El Paso. Continue reading
