The End of the Silver Age

Posted on March 26, 2014 by Train LoverJanuary 23, 2014

Union Pacific handed out this eight-page “souvenir album” to passengers on the last runs of its daily trains before Amtrak took over, April 30, 1971. A letter from UP CEO J.C. Kenefick offers a “reluctant goodbye to that small but loyal group of passengers whose support we have enjoyed.” Inside are 36 photos of trains and the celebrities who rode them, ranging from “Der Bingle” (Bing Crosby) to “Mr. President” (Herbert Hoover).

Amtrak elected to discontinue all of these trains except the Portland-Seattle train, which operated on Burlington Northern tracks, thus relieving UP of the burden of Amtrak trains for several years.

1959 Challenger Dinner Menu

Though starting in 1956 Union Pacific combined the Challenger with the City of Los Angeles during the off-peak season, it still operated them as a separate trains in the summers. This menu is dated July, 1959, so it would have been used in the Challenger‘s own diner.

This menu features a brilliant, hand-colored photo of the Grand Canyon on the front cover, and a black-and-white photo of the “new Union Pacific Grand Canyon Lodge” on the back. New was right: the lodge was barely completed in time for a photo to be included in the 1928 Zion-Bryce-Grand Canyon booklet. Sadly, the lodge was destroyed in a fire in 1932 and it was not completely rebuilt until 1937. Guests stayed in cabins detached from the lodge, but dining facilities must have been outdoors during the intervening years.

The Pony Express

Posted on March 22, 2014 by Train LoverJanuary 22, 2014

From 1926 to 1954, Union Pacific operated an overnight train between Denver and Salt Lake City called the Pony Express. This 1937 brochure describes the features of this train, including the diner, the club-observation car with its “curly maple” woodwork and “natural mahogany” cocktail lounge. A barber/valet would cut hair for 50 cents (about $6.50 today) and press a suit for $1. Passengers had a choice of reclining seat coaches, tourist sleepers, sections, and drawing rooms or compartments, all air conditioned, of course.

UP’s 1937 timetable advertised that the Pony Express was the fastest train between the two cities, leaving Denver at 5:45 pm and arriving in Salt Lake City at 7:35 am for a journey of less than 14 hours–an average of about 45 mph. The westbound train included through sleeping cars to San Francisco on the Overland Limited and Los Angeles on the Los Angeles Limited, while the eastbound train included a sleeper to St. Louis (over the Wabash).

The Pennsylvania Railroad

The Queen Elizabeth

Posted on March 19, 2014 by Train LoverNovember 4, 2017

This isn’t railroad memorabilia, but it is passenger memorabilia that somehow ended up in my collection, and it presents an interesting contrast to on-board stationery used on trains. The Queen Elizabeth (named after the Queen Mother, not the current or Tudor queen) was built in 1939, but due to the war it didn’t go into passenger service until 1946. It continued in New York-Southhampton service until 1968, so this letterhead is probably from the 1960s.

This letterhead is made of fine tissue paper, such as might have once been used for air mail. Since there was no reason to worry much about weight on a steamship, the paper was probably selected for its aura of luxury. I wonder how hard it was to write with a fountain pen on such paper, the danger being that the ink would feather and blur.

The Rocky Mountain Limited

Posted on March 18, 2014 by Train LoverJanuary 21, 2014

The Rocky Mountain Limited was Rock Island’s pre-streamlined entry into the Chicago-Denver market. Likely a distant third after the Burlington and Union Pacific, Rock Island had the slight advantage that its line split in eastern Colorado, allowing direct service to Colorado Springs instead of forcing passengers to go through Denver.

I can’t find much information about this train on the web, but it was running as early as 1907, when it had a 28-hour schedule from Denver to Chicago (and a half-hour more the other way). By 1937, its schedule had been cut by only a couple of hours. It was probably terminated with the introduction of the streamlined Rocky Mountain Rocket in 1939. The plain features of the above letterhead suggest that it was from the later years of the train.

The Astra-Dome City of Portland

Dated April, 1955–just one month after yesterday’s brochure–this one actually has a photo demonstrating the advantage of the “divan-type seating” in the dome, which is that more than two people can sit side-by-side in the seats provided one is a child and all are narrow enough. The remainder of the brochure is illustrated by brightly colored drawings that, unlike yesterday’s, are not in the Willmarth style.
