This booklet from my own collection describes the same train as yesterday’s, and even has a similar catch phrase inside: “Designed [rather than Fashioned] for Your Travel Pleasure.” Yet the format and colors are completely different.

As shown on page 2, the train’s locomotive was a General Motors E7. This was definitely an advance, both aesthetically and mechanically, from the Alco DL-107 shown on the cover of yesterday’s brochure. GM built more than 800 of this model, compared with Alco’s eight DL-107s.
Yesterday’s brochure was issued a few days before the new train was inaugurated. This one is undated (other than 1948), but must have come out after the train began service, allowing company photographers to capture an image of the new train and locomotive.
