    This brochure was probably published and handed out at the 1948 Chicago Railroad Fair. I have several brochure and booklets from different railroads and industry=supported companies. So it doesn’t suprise me to see Pullman! The scans look great. Thanks for sharing these with us.

    Thanks for sharing John!
    I wonder if ’48 Railroad Fair would be equivalent to a convention or trade show in today’s terms.
    In any event the Fair sounds like fun.
    Thanks again.
