Description
Full color 6 1/4″ x 9 1/2″ ad for their Diesel Power Locomotives. The ad has a copy of a Currier & Ives drawing of a crack “Express Train” of 1865 as well as a drawing of a GM diesel pulling one of the many war traffic loads being handled by Western Pacific Railroad. The ad headline informs us that “A New Day Dawns in Railroading”.
