RAILWAY
AND ITS CONNECTIONS
FORMS THE GREAT THOROUGHFARE
BETWEEN THE
EAST and WEST
And Experienced Travelers will tell you it is the BEST Route "by a large majority."
THIS LINE IS A
DOUBLE TRACK RAILWAY
AND THE ONLY ROUTE RUNNING SOLID TRAINS
Between CHICAGO and BUFFALO, through Union Depots, for all connections.
Its equipment is first-class in every respect—such as perfect Road-Bed, Iron and Stone Bridges, Westinghouse Automatic Safety Brakes, Miller Platform Coupler and Buffer, Magnificent Parlor Coaches for Day Travel, Elegant Day Coaches, and the Palace Sleeping Coaches. Well, words are inadequate to express their Durability and Splendor. They are simply Superb. These Coaches are run daily, through, betweenChicago, New YorkandBoston, without change.
ONE GREAT FEATURE IN THIS LINE IS, THAT IT IS THE
ONLY ROUTE BETWEEN CHICAGO and the EAST
THAT IS TOTALLY DEVOID OF TRANSFERS BY FERRY BOATS.
And the traveling public should certainly appreciate this great advantage over all other lines, as transfers by ferries are very tedious and annoying to the traveler who is anxious to reach the objective point without delay. Further comments are unnecessary.
All Agents sell Tickets via this popular line, and when passengers ask for them over the "LAKE SHORE," they smile and say, "You are on the right track," and they know.

THE MID-CONTINENTAL ROUTE
— TO —
Salt Lake and the Golden Gate.
THIS LINE PENETRATES THE MOST PICTURESQUE PARTSOF COLORADO, NEW MEXICO AND UTAH, ANDIS THE FAVORITE ROUTE FOR BUS-INESS OR PLEASURE.
IN COLORADOthe traveler beholds scenery excelling in variety, beauty and grandeur that of Switzerland. He traverses canons fifteen miles in length, with perpendicular walls more than half a mile in height. He crosses the Rocky Range at an elevation of over 11,000 feet, and from this lofty pass gazes upward 3,000 feet to the summits of the snow-crowded peaks.En routeto the Pacific Coast he passes through innumerable places of interest, among which are the Royal Gorge, Grand Canon of the Arkansas, Poncho Pass, Marshall Pass, the valleys of the Uncompahgre, Gunnison and Grand, Black Canon, Castle Gate, Wasatch Summit and Salt Lake City.
IN NEW MEXICOhe finds ruins more ancient than those of the Parthenon or Colosseum—the crumbling habitations of the pre-historic Cliff-Dwellers; he beholds the quaint architecture of the Spanish-Mexicans or the pueblos of the descendants of the Montezumas.
IN UTAHhe can bathe in the Great Salt Lake, and inspect the wonders of the City of the Saints.

A Great American Railway.
The Chicago and Atlantic Railway runs solid Pullman trains, the finest ever built, daily between Chicago and New York, etc., by way of the Erie Railway, and through its valuable connections reaches every important point in the entire country. The construction and equipment of the road are of the most perfect description, all that modern skill can compass having been called into requisition to ensure safety, comfort, speed and reliable connections, without having to change cars. This popular line, being almost literally straight, forms the shortest, quickest and most direct route to Lake Chautauqua, the highest navigated water on the globe. In equipment the Chicago and Atlantic Railway is excelled by none and equaled by few roads in the world. Their superb sleeping, drawing-room and thoroughfare coaches are simply models of elegance and comfort and are lighted with the brilliant Pintsch gaslight. Clean bedding, thick hair mattresses, thorough ventilation and absolute safety, with polite conductors and porters accompanying each car to provide for the wants of passengers, are valuable facts not to be overlooked. Each train has its smoking cars, which among other novelties contain a buffet, where the traveler may lunch at his leisure. Indeed, the company have provided every luxury, convenience and solid comfort for the traveling public, hence their road is liberally patronized.

THE GRAND CANON OF THE RIO COLORADO
and the rare beauties of the far famed YOSEMITE VALLEY.
No. II.is the old and popular Southern Route, over the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe and Southern Pacific Railroads, by way of Deming and Los Angeles, a favorite route to Southern California.
No. III.is the Northern Route, over the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, Denver & Rio Grande and Central Pacific Railroads. On this route through passengers are given side trips to Denver and Leadville free of charge for transportation, so that these two mountain cities are placed, with Salt Lake City, on the trans-continental line of travel.
