Tiny Alaska Brochure

Posted on June 5, 2014 by Train LoverFebruary 26, 2015

As previously shown here, in the 1960s the Great Northern issued a series of what I call “tiny brochures”–because they fold to just 2-5/6″x5-1/2″–describing each of the many destinations reachable on GN rail. This one for Alaska appears to date to 1959.

Although similar in size when folded, they don’t all unfold the same. This one unfolds into a page that is almost exactly 8-1/2″x11″. The ten color photos in the brochure include, among other things, Anchorage, Ketchikan, a Baronof fishing village, Mt. McKinley, and the above cover photo of a glacier in what looks like Glacier Bay.

Glorious Glacier

Posted on June 4, 2014 by Train LoverNovember 11, 2016

Dated March, 1940, this 32-page booklet has fourteen color photos and more than 80 black-and-white photos of Glacier Park, its hotels and chalets, trails, and other things to do and see in the park. The booklet is also decorated with Indian art that the Blackfeet used to adorn their lodges, and has a large, fold-out map of the park in back.

The color photos are so stunning, even today, that I have to wonder again why they put relatively muddy black-and-white photos on the same pages as color when adding more color would have added little to the cost of printing. The inside back cover has a list of Great Northern passenger agents that is covered by the fold-out map; the PDF presents two versions of the page (and its opposite page): one showing the list of agents as if the map were not glued in and one with the map completely unfolded.

East on the Empire Builder

Posted on June 3, 2014 by Train LoverFebruary 17, 2014

Chicago, Cleveland, and Detroit are given top billing as eastern cities you will want to visit after taking your trip across the West on the Empire Builder. Also mentioned are Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Niagara Falls, and–almost as an afterthought (but more likely just because they were further east)–New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and Washington.

Most children who suffer from cerebral palsy experience difficulty performing simple functions, such buying viagra in canada http://deeprootsmag.org/2017/07/05/bobby-osborne-sui-generis/ as eating, moving, and speaking, due to damaged bones, muscles, and nerves.

In addition to photos of these cities (plus Minneapolis & St. Paul), the brochure has several interior photos of the Empire Builder, as well as Glacier Park and other sights along the route. The brochure also has a map that emphasizes the Great Northern’s “low altitude,” with only 55 miles above 4,000 feet in elevation.

Every Luxury — Every Economy

Posted on June 2, 2014 by Train LoverJuly 21, 2018

Here’s another mystery brochure about the Empire Builder, the mystery being when it was published. Unusual for pre-war Great Northern brochures, both the front and back covers have color photos (actually, colorized versions of black-and-white photos–a black-and-white version of the back cover photo can also be seen on page 14 and a black-and-white version of the front cover is on page 2 of the 1938 Glacier photo booklet). But after the war, the GN was using streamlined Diesels delivered in 1945 to pull the still-unstreamlined Builder. Since page 19 pictures an S-2 steam locomotive, which dates back to 1930, I’m pretty sure this brochure is from before the war.

The luxury coaches whose interiors are pictured on page 16 were added to GN’s roster in 1937, so the brochure had to be that year or later. I’m surprised there are no exterior photos, as these coaches were semi-streamlined and gave a more modern appearance to the train. The coaches had rivets, but the rooflines were smooth, rather than tapering at the ends. By contrast, the heavyweight cars pictured on the cover look out of date. In any case, based on the colorization and the photo in common with the 1938 Glacier booklet, I’m guessing this brochure is from 1938 or 1939.

Another Empire Builder Blotter

Posted on June 1, 2014 by Train LoverFebruary 16, 2014

Here’s what appears to be another prewar blotter advertising Great Northern’s premiere train. Where the last one had contact information for agents in Seattle and Vancouver, this one is for Fargo. Did they have separate blotters for every city on the route?

GN Turquoise Ticket Envelope

Posted on May 31, 2014 by Train LoverFebruary 15, 2014

The train portrayed on the front of this ticket envelope looks like the Empire Builder between 1955, when the dome cars were added to the train, and 1962, when GN simplified the locomotive color scheme by deleting the bottom orange stripe. In fact, inside the envelope is a ticket for a trip on the Empire Builder from Everett to Spokane dated July 1, 1961.

Inside the envelope, the ticket agent has noted a fare for this trip of $60.35 plus a 10 percent tax of $6.04. Adjusted for inflation to today’s money, the total is more than $400. From SeaTac to Spokane, airfares today start at around $124, including tax.

Great Dome Ticket Envelope

Posted on May 30, 2014 by Train LoverFebruary 15, 2014

This colorful envelope features the full-length dome of the late-1950s Empire Builder. Someone apparently used this for a round-trip from Spokane to Chicago.

Traveling in October, 1959, the round-trip fare was $117.70 plus $50.50 for a roomette, which is a little over $1,000 today. The envelope didn’t come with a complete ticket, but the Pullman portion of the ticket shown below makes it clear that the accommodation charge, including tax, was $25.25 each way. For comparison, a one-way, six-hour (including one change of planes) airline trip from Spokane to Chicago today starts at under $130.

Great Northern Decals

Posted on May 29, 2014 by Train LoverMay 29, 2014

I acquired these decals ages ago from one of the most reputable rail memorabilia dealers in the country, so I know they are authentic. But what were they used for? At three inches in diameter each, they are about the right size for luggage stickers, but most luggage stickers have a little more than just the railroad logo.

To add to the mystery, I also have this twelve-and-a-half inch decal that, except for size, is identical to the three inch ones. Was this put on office doors? Automobile doors?

Indians of the Northwest

Posted on May 28, 2014 by Train LoverMay 25, 2024

This isn’t actually railroad memorabilia, but most Great Northern rail fans, and many art connoisseurs, will agree that they can’t get enough of Winold Reiss’ work. Shortly after Reiss died in 1953, Walter Foster–publisher of a successful series of “how-to-draw” books–came out with this book of 34 of Reiss’ paintings.

There’s no date on the book, or even any copyright notice (which is why I feel comfortable reproducing it here). Although this is number 116 out of 168 books listed in the back, when I contacted Walter Foster Publishing, which is still putting out art books, they didn’t know when he published this book either.

Call of the Mountains–1928

Posted on May 27, 2014 by Train LoverApril 4, 2018

This booklet is undated and I can’t find anything that conclusively pins it to 1928. It does contain several references to 1927, including a description of Charles Lindberg’s flight over Glacier in that year, so the booklet was clearly published after 1927. It could be from as late as the early 1930s.

This edition has slightly smaller dimensions, but 12 more pages, than the 1927 version. In addition to the color covers and color centerfold map, this one has six color paintings, and (unlike the 1927 edition) does the artists the courtesy of crediting them: two paintings each by Kathryn M. Leighton and Adolph Heinze, a portrait of Two Guns White Calf by Winold Reiss, and a rather dark wildflower painting by Walter Loos.
