Some of the text in this Vintage Ad:
“Ridin’ high, wide and handsome!”
Imagine yourself viewing the scenic beauty
of the West from this spacious, glass
enclosed observation dome on a smooth
riding streamlined train.
Yet, this gives only a hint of the new and
exciting things that are happening on the
railroads today.
And it is no secret among railroad men that
no small share of the credit for the super
comforts and luxuries these trains provide
belongs to the locomotives that head them.
In most cases that means Genel.al Motors
Diesel locomotives which today power
more than 150 famous name trains -on
more than a score of railroads - and these
are by far the majority of the Diesel-
powered crack trains in the United States.
These fast and powerful General Motors
Diesel locomotives won adoption on rail
road after railroad -not alone because
they ushered in the streamline era but be
cause they brought a new conception of
smoothness to railroad travel, faster
schedules and record-breaking on time
performance.
They also brought the railroads extra earn-
ings and substantial savings out of which
to finance still further benefits that mean
so much to passengers, shippers, investors
and the railroads themselves.
We may well believe “the best is yet to come”
as these General Motors Diesel locomotives
sot the pace for an even better tomorrow.
“Better trains follow General Motors locomotives”
