This colorful Southern Pacific travel poster probably dates from the 1950s, at the very end of the heyday of railroad passenger travel. The text reads: “Southern Arizona, Dude Ranches and Resorts” and then “Southern Pacific: The Only Direct, Main Line Service.”

As do many posters, this one has a little tear at the top, but is otherwise in good condition.
