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._

OVER THE SANTA FE ROUTE

The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe R. R. offers the public a choice of

THREE ROUTES TO THE PACIFIC COAST

=No. I.= is the ALBUQUERQUE SHORT LINE, which carries Pullman Palace Sleeping Cars from Kansas City to San Francisco without change. The tourist by this line may visit en route the famous Hot Springs at Las Vegas, the ancient City of Santa Fe, the older Pueblo of the Zunis, the uninhabited abodes of the Cliff-Dwellers, the petrified forests, that most wonderful of all nature's works,

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.

TWO LINES TO MEXICO

The CHIHUAHUA ROUTE is the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe to El Paso and the Mexican Central to the interior of Mexico. This line will be opened early in the spring through to the City of Mexico.

The GUAYMAS ROUTE extends from Kansas City to Guaymas, on the Gulf of California, in the Republic of Mexico.
