An Invitation for a Unique Trip

Posted on March 19, 2019 by Train LoverMarch 1, 2019

The first revenue run of the hi-level El Capitan took place on July 8, 1956. A few weeks before, Santa Fe invited a select group of people — probably travel agents, writers, and possibly some elected officials — to take a “unique trip” from Chicago to Streater, Illinois and back on June 24.

Come on out to California

Posted on March 18, 2019 by Train LoverMarch 1, 2019

This little booklet was no doubt designed to fit easily into a timetable rack and so doesn’t open out to 16″x9″ like many do. Although the booklet extols the “color and excitement” of California, it is filled with photos that are merely black-and-white, albeit some are toned blue and some sepia. The lack of color photos, other than the cover, is especially strange because many of the pages have little color graphics that appear to require four-color printing.

The booklet mentions golf, fishing, sunbathing on the beaches, horseback riding, and sightseeing. But it strangely opens by encouraging people to come to California to go yachting or sailing. Yachting? Who travels 2,000 miles to go yachting? Perhaps Santa Fe’s target market was even wealthier than I supposed.

The Legends and Lore of Turquoise

Posted on March 17, 2019 by Train LoverMarch 1, 2019

This 3″x5″ booklet says it was a souvenir of the Turquoise Room, the private dining room that formed a part of the dome car on the Super Chief. This car was introduced in 1950, so the booklet dates to that year or a little later.

The Only Railroad to Carlsbad

Posted on March 16, 2019 by Train LoverMarch 16, 2019

The Southern Pacific and Santa Fe both advertised access to Carlsbad Caverns. The Santa Fe’s Amarillo line passed through Clovis, New Mexico, from which it offered afternoon or evening train #25 184 miles to Carlsbad and morning train #26 back. A sleeping car from Chicago on the Navaho and, after about 1938, the Scout was detached at Clovis and sent to Carlsbad. After this ended in the early 1950s, trains 25 & 26 continued to operate with coaches at least through 1965.

By comparison, Southern Pacific’s closest stop to Carlsbad was El Paso, from which passengers could take a morning motor coach 150 miles to Carlsbad and an evening coach back. This allowed Santa Fe to advertise that it was the “only railroad to Carlsbad.” However, the Scout was a train for budget-minded passengers while more prestigious trains either took the Raton Pass route (missing Clovis) or stopped at Clovis at inconvenient times to meet trains 25 and 26. Meanwhile, passengers on the Sunset Limited and Golden State Limited, as well as secondary trains on those routes, could make the side trip from El Paso. Continue reading →

The New Daily Super Chief

Posted on March 15, 2019 by Train LoverMarch 1, 2019

The Super Chief was inaugurated as a Diesel-powered, heavyweight train in 1936, and as a streamliner in 1937. But Santa Fe was unable to acquire enough equipment to make it a daily train until 1948. Describing that daily train, this booklet has color illustrations of the interiors of the sleeping cars and feature cars — three lounges and a diner — that made up the train.

As romantic as the Super Chief, the “train of the stars,” must have been, the strong impression that comes from this booklet is how ordinary it was in 1948. The 1937 streamliner, built by Budd with interior decoration by the Paul Cret/John Harbeson architectural firm, lined the interiors of all of the cars with a wide variety of exotic woods: bubinga, prima vera, macassar ebony, avodire, zinqana, Brazilian rosewood, ebonized maple, holly, redwood burl, teak, and satinwood, to name a few listed by Stan Repp’s excellent book about the train. Much of the upholstery and window curtains were patterned after Navaho rugs, and Indian-inspired wall decorations were scattered throughout the train. Continue reading →

Return to Fast Peacetime Schedules

Posted on March 14, 2019 by Train LoverMarch 1, 2019

During the war, the Super Chief‘s famous 39-3/4-hour schedule from Chicago to Los Angeles was increased by two hours, probably because the War Production Board decided that freight should have a higher priority. This brochure announces the return to “popular peacetime schedules” on June 2, 1946.

The brochure also announces the return of direct service to the Grand Canyon on the Grand Canyon Limited, which at the time was also Santa Fe’s train to the San Francisco Bay Area. To serve southern Californians going to the park, the brochure introduced a new train, the El Tovar. Continue reading →

Carlsbad Caverns National Park

Posted on March 13, 2019 by Train LoverMarch 1, 2019

President Coolidge declared Carlsbad Caverns a national monument in 1923 and Congress made it into a national park in 1930. I’ve been to the caverns and, while they are interesting, I suspect their year-round temperature of 56 degrees made them a lot more interesting in the days before air conditioning.

For once, the use of black-and-white photos in a travel booklet is actually more authentic than the color photos often used today. The colors are very pretty but they are solely the result of colored lights; without the colored lenses over the lights, the limestone is mostly a dull grey. Considering the Park Service’s dedication to nature and authenticity, it is a bit surprising that it continues to use the colored lights. I suppose any lights at all in the caverns is unnatural, but the Park Service allows only flashlights in an associated cave called Slaughter Canyon. Continue reading →

Harland Ratcliffe’s Ride on the El Capitan

Posted on March 12, 2019 by Train LoverMarch 1, 2019

The cover of this 1940 booklet is identical to another 1940 booklet shown here previously. But inside the two are very different. This booklet, dated May 31, has all black-and-white photos, while the other one, dated August 1, is all in color. The text is also completely different, as the August booklet is Santa Fe’s own description of the train while this one purports to have been written by Harland R. Ratcliffe, a reporter with the Boston Evening Transcript.

The booklet claims that Ratcliffe’s Transcript article about his round-trip ride on the El Capitan “was only slightly altered for this report.” But the last page of text is signed by Santa Fe’s passenger traffic manager with no break to indicate where Ratcliffe’s writing might have ended and Santa Fe’s begun. This and other peculiarities in the text — such as being written in the third person and the writer having an intimate knowledge of the women’s lounges — make me suspect the newspaper report was heavily edited if not entirely rewritten for this booklet.

The Great Southwest

Posted on March 11, 2019 by Train LoverMarch 1, 2019

Published by Fred Harvey with a 1911 copyright, this booklet contains 31 beautiful hand-colored photos and two paintings (including the cover) of the Southwest, which the editor apparently considered began in Colorado Springs and continued to Yosemite Park. The booklet begins with two pages of text describing the history of the region, and each 6″x9″ photo is accompanied by a long paragraph describing the scenic wonder that is depicted.

Mt. Mineral Dinner Menu

Posted on March 10, 2019 by Train LoverMarch 1, 2019

This menu is similar to a 1950 menu we’ve seen in that the color photo of Colorado scenery on the front is paired with another color photo of a Rio Grande train on the back. In the 1950 example, the train on the back was a heavyweight Royal Gorge, while in this case it is the east- and westbound California Zephyrs meeting in Glenwood Canyon.

Both of these menus were used for tour groups, which means the meals were unpriced. This particular menu was used on a Prairie Farmer-WLS tour and offers trout, fried chicken, calf’s liver, or prime rib with soup, potatoes and vegetable, rolls, salad, dessert, and beverage. As previously noted, Prairie Farmer is a magazine that, from 1928 through 1960, owned Chicago radio station WLS. It began offering rail tours to various parts of the country as early as 1930 and continued them at least through the early 1950s.
