Colorado Special (train)
Title
Colorado Special (train)
Description
Manitowoc people visiting Colorado should by all means make the journey in the new Colorado special. This beautiful new train is perfect in every detail from the pilot on the big engine to the signal lights on the rear coach. It is the ideal of luxurious modern travel and as it flies through space at a 50 mile clip the traveler is conscious only of a fleeting panorama and an environment that rivals the comforts of his own home. The Colorado special makes the trip to Denver in 27 hours and runs every day in the year. The train from Denver is an exact counter-part of the Chicago train running on the same schedule as to time and arrives Chicago at 8:30 PM. Headlight 1898
