The map is reversible with one side advertising the "Route of the Air-conditioned North Coast Limited. For the utmost in travel comfort, we commend to you the splendid equipment, curteous personnel and "famously good" food on this - ONE OF AMERICA'S FINE TRAINS"; the opposite side advertises, "ROUTE YOUR FREIGHT NORTHERN PACIFIC "Main Street of the Northwest" Northern Pacific freight is fast, dependable.

Millard, Freight Traffic Manager, St. Paul, MN and J. L. Burnham, Western Traffic Manager, Seattle, WA.

The North Coast Limited was the premier passenger train operated by the Northern Pacific Railway between Chicago and Seattle via Butte, Montana and Homestake Pass. It commenced service on April 29, 1900, served briefly as a Burlington Northern train after the merger on March 2, 1970, and ceased operation on April 30, 1971, the day before Amtrak began service.
The map is in good condition though the edges are frayed in places and there are both stains and foxing noted. Otherwise, the red ink printing and logos are clear and bold. Measures 24"L x 19"W
