Summary

Description Promotional postcard for what would be named the Denver Zephyr. For some reason, Burlington appears to have scheduled the train before a formal name was chosen as this describes it as the "Advance Zephyr". The train is also described as having no sleeping cars--being coach only--"for the present". Pullman cars were listed as being part of the first consist of the train when it began in 1936. This appears to be a very early promotional piece for the train.
Date 1936. Again, the train route began in 1936 and since there weren't any Pullman cars on it when this postcard was printed, this is a very early promotional item for this train.
