The cover (which is the back cover) of this timetable shows the E2 Diesel locomotive jointly owned by C&NW, Union Pacific, and Southern Pacific, next to one of C&NW’s “steamlined” Hudson locomotives used for non-streamlined Chicago-Omaha trains, behind which can be seen one of C&NW’s non-streamlined Pacifics used for the Twin Cities 400. These three locomotives reflect the slogan that C&NW is the “route of the ‘400,’ the Streamliners and the Challengers.”

This 1937 booklet at first looks like a summary of the Summer Tours booklet for that year (which I’ll be posting in a couple of months). But this booklet doesn’t cover escorted tours; it merely shows alternative routings between Chicago and the West Coast. All of the alternatives, of course, use the C&NW between Chicago and either Omaha or the Twin Cities in one if not both directions.

Also unlike the Summer Tours booklets, this one isn’t accompanied by beautiful color photos of national parks and other scenery. Instead, the only graphics are crude maps showing the alternative routings. Some of the alternatives have their own alternatives, which can get pretty complicated as in the example below.

These blotters from the Dale Hastin collection all relate to the C&NW 400, which was inaugurated on January 2, 1935. PDFs of the blotters are all around 300 to 400 KB in size.

Dated 1936, this appears to be the oldest of the four. Seven hours from Chicago to Minneapolis is just a bit more than 400 minutes, which is the source of the name. Even though it used heavyweight equipment, the train was competitive with the streamlined Burlington Twin Cities Zephyr and the steamlined Hiawatha.

The tiny numbers in the lower left corner of this blotter suggest that it was published in 1910 and that 15,000 copies were made. The date is plausible as the Overland Limited began operation in the late 1890s and the Los Angeles Limited in 1905.

These blotters from the Dale Hastin collection aren’t dated, but most seem to be from before 1900. PDFs of the blotters are about 500 to 700 KB in size.

This blotter shows the Dakota territory, suggesting it is from before November 2, 1889, when the territory was split into the states of North and South Dakota. The blotter advertises diners, which C&NW introduced in 1869, and Palace sleeping cars, which C&NW introduced in 1877. So it is probably from the 1880s.

One more Milwaukee Road booklet from the Spokane Public Library’s Northwest Collection shows scenes in California, Nevada, and Oregon, three states not actually served by the Milwaukee. The 32-page booklet was published in 1960, just a year before the Milwaukee ended passenger service to the Pacific Northwest. After that, its only connection to California was via the Union Pacific City trains.

Among the major western roads, only the Northern Pacific was as stingy with color as the Milwaukee.

The Milwaukee Road emerged from its second bankruptcy after World War II, so it must have felt rich enough to publish this booklet showing many of its historic and then-current locomotives. The booklet, which I scanned from the Spokane Public Library Northwest Collection, shows twelve steam locomotives that date from before 1920, six more modern steamers, four electrics, and a dozen Diesels.

Milwaukee was an eclectic buyer, with Diesels by Alco, Baldwin, Fairbanks Morse, General Electric, and General Motors, all of which (at least those shown in the booklet) were built in 1940 or later. By 1950, when this booklet was published, most of the post-1920 steam locomotives were probably still in use as were the pre-1920 electrics. (One series of electric locomotives, the “Little Joes,” were purchased by the Milwaukee in 1950.) The steam locomotives soon disappeared, but the electrics survived to the 1970s.

This 1940 booklet that I scanned from the Spokane Public Library Northwest Collection offers pre-war travelers four trips from Chicago to the Northwest. The first takes the Milwaukee to Seattle, a Canadian Pacific liner to Victoria and Vancouver, the Canadian Pacific-Soo Line to Minneapolis, and the Milwaukee back to Chicago. The 14-day trip cost $226 (about $3,000 in today’s dollars), including rail travel, a lower berth, hotels, meals, and local transportation.

This is an odd booklet, as it seems to commemorate the Milwaukee Road’s 92nd anniversary–which isn’t exactly a year that normally is cause for notice, at least not for corporations. Most of the interior text is in a typewriter font, suggesting that the booklet, which I scanned from the Spokane Public Library’s Northwest collection, was hastily slapped together by the company public relations department.

Two world’s fairs were held in 1939, but this doesn’t look like the type of booklet that would be handed out to the public. Instead, it was probably given to newspaper editors and reporters.
