Rocky Mountain National (Estes) Park

Although Rocky Mountain National Park is only the subtitle, that turns out to be the sole subject of this booklet. Dated March 5, 1929, the 40-page booklet includes a large fold-out map in the back that shows roads and trails to, in, and around the park. This map goes as far south as Denver but not Colorado Springs, the other Colorado destination that is often emphasized in Burlington travel literature.

The booklet’s title makes it appear as if the term Estes Park is interchangeable with Rocky Mountain Park. In fact, Estes Park is the name of the city and the valley that are the eastern gateway to the park. In Colorado, the word “park” has long been used to refer to a large, open valley in the mountains, as in Winter Park and South Park. The town of Estes Park is nominally named after a pioneer named Joel Estes who moved into the valley in 1853, but is really named after the valley itself which in turn is named for Mr. Estes.

Scenic Colorado and Utah

This 32-page booklet contains much text and lots of black-and-white photos of mountains, lakes, hotels, and railroad lines. The Burlington itself didn’t go to Utah, and though its partner Rio Grande did, it is understandable that most of the booklet is about Colorado–14 pages vs. 7 about Utah plus 3 supposedly introducing both but really mostly about Colorado.

Way of the Zephyrs Blotters

These are the last of the Burlington blotters I scanned from the Dale Hastin collection. The first two introduce the Kansas City Zephyr and the American Royal Zephyr.

These two trains began operating in 1953, so the blotters date from that year. While the blotters appear to be identical at first glance, one has the schedule from Chicago to Kansas City while the other has the schedule from Kansas City to Chicago.

The West’s Great Trains

These blotters from the Dale Hastin collection are a little more generic than the Burlington blotters we’ve seen so far. The first advertises nine different trains including the Denver Zephyr, which began operating in 1936, and the Aristocrat, which was dropped from the timetable in 1941. Thus, the blotter must have been issued in one of those years.

The next blotter mentions the Burlington’s “fleet of fine modern passenger trains” and adds that the railroad has been operating for 89 years. The first Burlington train operated in 1850, so the blotter must be from 1939.

Burlington Trailways Blotters

As previously noted, Trailways (unlike Greyhound) was an association of independent companies operating under the same banner for advertising purposes. Burlington and Santa Fe led in the formation of the association in 1936.

The first blotter advertises two daily buses operating about twelve hours apart between Chicago and California. While they competed against the Burlington’s own trains, they probably served smaller towns and (despite the “fastest time” claim) took several hours longer than the Exposition Flyer. Judging from the image of a bus on the blotter, this was probably issued around 1937 as the various Trailways companies began acquiring more streamlined buses in 1938.

Burlington Name-Train Blotters

Today’s blotters from the Dale Hastin collection each feature a specific train or, in one case, two trains. The first one, the Chicago Limited, was the eastbound counterpart to the Denver Limited. These unimaginatively named trains (Wikipedia lists four other railroads having a train called the Chicago Limited) were replaced as Burlington’s premiere train on this route by the Aristocrat in 1930.

However, this blotter appears to be from the 1930s, suggesting the trains may have been retained as secondary trains. The blotter doesn’t list a city, but the addresses (1416 Dodge and 10th & Farnam) are from Omaha, which suggests the Chicago Limited ran earlier than the Aristocrat so Omaha passengers could board the train in the early evening.

More Tour Blotters

While yesterday’s blotters focused on Colorado and Yellowstone, these add Glacier Park to the mix. Judging from the typeface, the first one is probably older than the other three.

The advertisement appears to say that round-trip transportation between Glacier and Yellowstone was just $4.75. While that sound’s cheap, it’s about $65 in today’s money. However, a round-trip from Denver to Colorado Springs was free, which sound cheap in any year. The mention of the Oriental Limited shows the blotter was from before 1929, when that train was replaced by the Empire Builder as Great Northern’s premiere train.

Escorted Tour Blotters

Only one of these blotters has the escorted tours logo on it, but all are of the same vintage. Since Burlington Escorted Tours began in 1925 and one of the blotters mentions the Denver Limited–a train that was replaced in 1930 by the Aristocrat–I would date these blotters to the late 1920s. Today and tomorrow I’ll show nine of these blotters from the Dale Hastin collection.

This blotter explicitly advertises escorted tours as “nothing to do but have a good time” since the escort does everything else.

Treasure Lands of the Pacific Northwest

This, the ninth in the same series of booklets described in yesterday’s post, discusses the mineral wealth of the Pacific Northwest. Nowadays, “Pacific Northwest” is used to refer to Oregon and Washington; but the railways that published this booklet expanded it to include Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming. That’s lucky in this case, as most of the Northwest’s minerals at that time were found in Montana and northern Idaho.

Since then, Wyoming has starred as a leading coal producer. But mines were and are far less important in Oregon and Washington. To make up for that, perhaps, the booklet also includes information on Alaska minerals.

The Western Gateway to World Trade

The introduction to this 1924 booklet, which I scanned from the Spokane Public Library collection, notes that it is the eighth of the series of pamphlets published by the Burlington Route, Great Northern, and Northern Pacific railways “as part of a national campaign to inform the people of the United States about the Pacific Northwest—Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Oregon and Washington—and to aid in its sound development.” We’ve already seen one of these booklets, Through the American Wonderland, promoting the region’s scenery. Others focused on timber, water power, poultry farming, minerals, and other industries.

This one, published in 1924, deals with the shipping industry, focusing on the ports of Seattle and Portland. The booklet notes that, when measured by value, Oregon and Washington ports shipped more goods in 1922 than those of California. Of course, a large portion of the goods shipped to or from Northwest ports spent part of their journeys on Great Northern or Northern Pacific trains.
