THIS map shows at a glance

that Union Pacific serves more of the scenic West and

its great National Parks than any

other railroad; how thoroughly it

serves the West — the principal

cities, major markets, Pacific

ports, as well as all vacation re-

gions; and how directly it connects

the West with the great cities and

industrial centers of the East. Via

Union Pacific, the traveler has a

wide choice of destinations, for

either business or pleasure trips.

• Union Pacific West is much in

the spot light just now because

Secretary of the Interior Ickes has

strongly urged a National Park

Year. He says, "the prevailing

rates of foreign exchange furnish a sound reason

for Americans seeing America first.... Our money

will go much farther at home than abroad." Take

his advice. Plan a Western vaca-

tion. Among the famous regions

served by Union Pacific are:

ZION-BRYCE CANYON—GRAND CANYON

YELLOWSTONE-GRAND TETON

ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARKS

COLORADO-UTAH

CALIFORNIA AND HAWAII

PACIFIC NORTHWEST AND ALASKA

WESTERN DUDE RANCHES

BOULDER DAM

For complete information about a

vacation trip to any of these regions write W. S.

Basinger, Passenger Traffic Manager, Room 62,

Union Pacific Railroad, Omaha, Nebraska.

TRAVEL COMFORT has been given a

NEW SIGNIFICANCE

WESTERN travelers of tomorrow will enjoy

comforts and conveniences heretofore un-

known—the result of innovations in design

and construction introduced by Union Pacific in its

new high-speed, light-weight, stream-lined train.

The train is fully air-conditioned, eliminating all

draught and dirt, and insuring a comfortable and

uniform temperature during the heat of summer and

the chill of winter. • The seats for 1 16 passengers in

the two coaches of the train were especially de-

signed for this equipment, and their scientific con-

struction assures perfect seat comfort. A novel de-

vice makes it possible to install individual tables at

each seat for service of meals from the buffet or for

use as a writing desk. Meals, prepared in the unique

buffet kitchen, will be served from a special combina-

tion tea-cart steam table by waiters who pass

through the aisles. • Windows, all of shatter-proof

glass, were manufactured under a special formula to

take the glare out of sunlight. An indirect lighting

system insures uniform light without shadows. This

also enhances the restfulness and beauty of the

decorative scheme during night travel, producing a

soft, pleasing illumination that eliminates eye-strain

and makes for pleasant reading. • Comfort, conveni-

ence and beauty of design are apparent in every

feature of the entire train. In its building every ef-

fort has been made to provide travel comfort and

pleasure. We believe you will agree with us that

this has been attained. We have tried to give you

the best—and in applying principles not heretofore

used in train construction, feel that we have suc-

ceeded. Union Pacific's new train is deserving of the

appellation, "Tomorrow's Train—TODAY."

A second train, incorporating sleeping cars, is under construction.

• As a color for the exterior of the new train, canary yellow was selected after exhaustive tests. It was chosen as an additional safety measure. Canary yellow can be seen for a greater distance than any

other color and its blended combination with golden brown trim con- stitutes one of the outstanding features of the train.

SPEED with comfort, safety and economy of operating costs were the aims in

the construction of Union Pacific's new train. Because of its radical depar-

ture from the conventional type of car and train construction, exhaustive

tests were conducted during the development of every feature of the train to

insure its perfection. Slightly more than 204 feet in length, from rounded nose

to its fin-like tail, the total weight of the three-car unit is equal

only to that of a single modern steel Pullman car. • The light

weight was obtained by the use of aluminum alloy which has

one-third the weight of steel, with the same strength. The tubu-

lar structural design was perfected to give additional strength.

• The smooth, stream-lined exterior of the train, with even the

vestibule steps drawn up into the cars while the train is in

motion, provides sufficient power economy to enable a 600

horse power distillate-burning motor, directly connected to a

generator, to provide power to propel the train at a maximum

speed of 110 miles per hour. • The super-brakes are of a new

design—a dual system, each coordinated part of which is capa-

ble of safe operation in event of failure of the other. A dupli-

cate device is installed to require the engineer to keep both

foot and hand constantly on a control. Releasing pressure of hand or foot auto-

matically closes the throttle and applies the brakes. A newly developed appli-

ance called a "decelerometer" has been perfected and is installed on the train.

Its function is to equalize brake pressure on every wheel, admit maximum pres-

sure but prevent locked wheels. The braking system is such that the train cannot

be started unless the brakes are in perfect working condition. • Articulation

between the cars of the train was adopted as best suited for smooth riding at

high speeds. In articulation, the cars are hinged together with only one truck be-

tween each two cars. • The train is fully equipped with roller

bearings and trucks are designed to incorporate the use of

rubber to the fullest extent for the elimination of noise and to

improve riding quality. The train is operated from a cab situ-

ated above and in front of the engine compartment. An instru-

ment board before the engineer shows conditions of every part

of his power plant at ail times. There are air, oil, water, fuel,

electric gauges and a speedometer. He has an unobstructed

view ahead and on both sides of him. Electric signals afford

communication between him and the train crew. • A powerful

fog-piercing headlight is supplemented by a light which throws

a ten-inch vertical beam, for added safety. Warning signals

are given by a powerful siren and an electric gong. The diagram

below shows the plan of the new 3-car train, the location

of its various features from engine room, mail and baggage compartments of

the first car to buffet kitchen in the end car.• The new train is Union Pacific's

answer to the desire of today for greater speed, with safety, and comfort.

ODERN ART finds

expression in the interior of Union Pacific's

new train, yet it is striking in its simplicity.

The color scheme is blue, shading down

from a nearly white ceiling, through the

lighter shades of blue to a dark blue be-

low the window sills. Horizontal bands of

polished aluminum show between the dif-

ferent shades of blue. Window sills of black

bakelite—aluminum chairs upholstered in

golden brown tapestry—window shades of

Venetian blind design with concealed rollers

... all these blend in an atmosphere of rest-

ful beauty.
