Some of the text in this Vintage Ad:
Promontory Point, Utah, May 10, 1869. Here a golden spike was driven home, completing the final link in America’s first transcontinental railroad, the Union Pacific.
“All Aboard” for Tomorrow
A long yesterday ago it was “All aboard for
tomorrow" as the Union Pacific linked
the coasts.
A short yesterday ago there was promise of
a greater tomorrow when the Union Pacific
launched America's first streamlined train (pow-
ered by General Motors) in February, 1934.
Today that promise is far surpassed in the Speed,
luxury and year-round clock-like regularity
of the Union Pacific's magnificent fleet of
General Motors Diesel-powered transcontinen-
tal Streamliners.
Now, once again, it's "All aboard for tomorrow"
as the Union Pacific prepares to increase its
great fleet with a mighty addition - the largest
single order for Diesel motive power ever placed
by one railroad wlth one company -155,500
horsepower in General Motors freight, passen-
ger and switching locomotives.
This power will enable the Union Pacific to
complete the dieselization of its trains between
Salt Lake City and Los Angeles, as well as make
notable improvements elsewhere on the system.
Here again is a typical example of the rapid
spread in application of this greatest of all
modem transportation tools - the locomotives
already handling 20 per cent of the nation's
Class 1 railroad passenger train mileage and
12 per cent of the enormous freight tonnage of
Class 1 railroads upon standards of rapidity,
reliability and lessened damage to lading
approached by no other common carrier.
Benefits do not stop there. General Motors
Diesels, through their great operating and
maintenance economies, help to finance further
modernization of the lines.
These are reasons why more than eighty rail
roads and heavy industries have tuned to
General Motors locomotives -today's must
modern power-Setting the pace for to.
morrow's railroading.
