Burlington Route
| 15961 | Burlington Route | Denver Zephyr | 1948 | $9.99 | |

| 15960 | Burlington Route | Denver Zephyr | 1948 | $11.99 | |
|
We are labeling this a postcard, though the extensive text printed on the reverse leaves no room whatever for a message, stamp, or address! Obviously intended as a promotional piece, this card advertises the Burlington Route's 100th Anniversary, and features the beautiful "Silver Meteor." The reverse provides a brief history of the road, taken from "Milepost 100," which is described as a concise history of the Burlington's first century, a copy of which was available for free by writing the line. This card is in excellent, clean condition, with nice corners. |

|
An artist's rendering of the New SS Spartan, sailing for the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway's year-round ferry service on Lake Michigan. This was a popular image, and it appeared on playing cards and other promotional items, as well as postcards. Showing minor corner wear, but not postally used. |
