Re: 1954 trip guide side one

Well, this wasn't an "official" railroad publication. It was printed in Silverton at the Silverton Standard and the Miner's print shop as an advertising handout for the Grand Imperial. I recognize the Linotype type faces used in the printing, and all that stuff is still in the back shop of the Standard, now an art gallery in the front half. This is typical of the stuff Lyons and Myron Henry helped to circulate to promote the train. These were printed by the tens of thousands and most are gone, of course. Ross Beaber ran the paper then, and probably printed these on the Kluge that was in the shop. I have similar material in my collection, much of it obtained at the time, though my first tip to Silverton was not until 1956, but I was well into printing by then and discovered the Standard's shop and have kept close tabs on it ever since.
