This poster advertises the Union Pacific streamliner *City of Denver*, one of the lightweight, streamlined passenger trains that railroads introduced in the mid-1930s to win back riders lost to the automobile and the Depression. Its name points to the Denver run, a route the railroad promoted as fast, modern, and comfortable compared with the older steam-hauled coaches. Streamliner posters like this one typically pair bold graphics with the sleek lines of the train itself, presenting rail travel as part of a forward-looking, machine-age America. Look at how the artwork sells speed and style as much as destination.
