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.
