    1938-1941 TRAIL BLAZER • JEFFERSONIAN n 1938 the Pennsylvania Railroad introduced a new two tone color scheme for it’s fleet of passenger cars. The noted industrial designer, Raymond Loewy is credited for the exterior design for the passenger fleet. His design of standard Tuscan red car sides with a panel of darker, almost maroon-purple that ran the length of the car window level and terminated in half circles at both ends. This stunning effect was completed by multiple gold stripes and a new lettering style. The PRR referred to Ithe lettering as “Futura” and the Pullman Company called it “Kabel.” The trains were to ready in the spring of 1938. The Pennsylvania Railroad called the new trains “The Fleet of Modernism.” Many older PRR coaches, diners and a few head end cars were painted in the new scheme. The PRR rebuilt some heavyweight Pullmans that were assigned to the railroad. They changed the external appearance to blend in with the new lightweight equipment. There were knowe as “betterment” cars, an accounting term meaning “improved.” The Coach Yard will offer an 8-car Trail Blazer and 8-car The Jeffersonian, both Fleet of Modernism trains, along with a number of individual cars, in HO scale, FACTORY pro-finished: lettered and painted Jeffersonian with interiors as per prototype.

In recent years, the company has been exploring connecting its Heart- land Flier and Southwest Chief by rail. The con- nection would take passenger service through Wichita and end the connector in Newton. “Newton is so important to this,” Lang said. “Ei- PHOTOS BY WENDY NUGENT/NEWTON NOW ther we would crew trains out of Newton or Nevon Demel gives his dad, Sam Demel, a hug on Saturday afternoon at Mojo's Coffee Bar in North Newton. overnight in Newton.
