The rather boring but heavy-duty cover of this odd-sized (approx. 4-5/8″x9-5/8″) booklet hides the fact that it contains many beautiful photos inside, and in particular four in full color, plus one color painting. Canadian Pacific was one of the first … Continue reading
We’ve previously seen a 1958 version of this booklet. This one, from 1964, is smaller: 5-1/2″x7-1/2″ vs. 8-1/4″x10-1/4″ for the 1958 edition. This one is also 32 pages rather than 28, but unlike the 1958 booklet this one is bilingual: … Continue reading
This westbound edition of Canadian Pacific’s along-the-way booklet has some changes from the one presented yesterday. Page 3 has “an artist’s sketch” of CP’s latest hotel, Montreal’s Chateau Champlain, which opened in 1967. This illustration is the same one shown … Continue reading
While yesterday’s booklet presented information about the route of the Canadian from west to east, today’s has pretty much the same information but arranged from east to west. Unlike yesterday’s, this one is clearly dated 1963 on the back cover. … Continue reading

We’ve seen these two booklets before, the main differences being that the others were from a different year. First is a 1947 booklet for the Shasta Route, which was served by the all-Pullman Cascade; the bargain Beaver, which left Portland … Continue reading
Like the Shasta Route wayside notes presented here yesterday and the day before, these two booklets were issued just a couple of years apart in 1922 and 1924. Unlike the Shasta booklets, these two are nearly identical, other than the … Continue reading
This booklet was issued just three years after the one presented yesterday, but there are enough differences between the two that I felt this one deserved its own day. Quite a few of the photos have been updated, and the … Continue reading
We’ve previously seen a 12-page booklet from 1950 describing sights along the Southern Pacific’s Shasta Route. This one is from three decades earlier and fills 16 pages. Unlike the later booklet, this one includes more than 80 photos which, though … Continue reading
