On Feb. 12, 1934, Union Pacific premiered the M-10000, called “Tomorrow’s Train Today.” It was the first lightweight, streamlined passenger train to operate in the United States. The tiny brown-and-yellow speedster offered hope and promise for America’s future during the Great Depression.

Later renamed City of Salina, the train was the beginning of Union Pacific’s City Fleet of streamliners including the City of Los Angeles, City of San Francisco, City of Portland, City of Denver and Challenger, departing from Chicago and serving all the West.

Union Pacific system maps, timetables, travel brochures, and advertising are featured.
