This is both a timetable and a travel booklet urging U.S. residents to visit Mexico by rail. “Why visit Egypt?” the booklet asks, when “there are pyramids in Mexico.” Similarly, “why visit Rheims and Cologne” when “there are cathedrals a-plenty in Mexico.” The booklet also includes a page of Spanish phrases people can learn while assuring potential tourists that “English, of course, is spoken in almost every large town in Mexico.”

The timetables themselves start on page 9 with a schedule for the Aztec Eagle from St. Louis to Mexico City via Missouri Pacific and Laredo. For westerners, another schedule is from Los Angeles to Mexico City via Southern Pacific and El Paso. Six more pages of schedules include trains that went all over the country.
