  • City of Portland Union Pacific Railroad
    CITY OF PORTLAND UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD CHICAGO AND NORTH WESTERN LINE CITY OF PORTLAND The "City of Port- land" described in this booklet is a 13-car train plus a 3-car Diesel power unit. Perhaps the most outstanding feature of this train is the Observa- tion-Lounge Car, named the "Copper King," embodying remarkable innovations in railroad development. The deft decorations, unique and colorful, are by Mrs. W. A. Harriman, wife of the Chairman of the Board of the Union Pacific. Her contribu- tion to the unusual interior decorations of other Union Pacific streamline trains has created con- siderable favorable comment. The "Copper King" is the first "light-condi- tioned" car in railroading and the first in which copper has been used so extensively for interior decoration, finishings and appointments. The final touch of the selections of color schemes for the furniture, the decorating, upholstering, carpeting and the exquisite buffet and other interior appoint- ments was added by Mrs. Harriman. Pullman passengers enjoy complete relaxation in the -Copper King". The “Copper King" Observation-Lounge Car. • As the name implies, the "Copper King" is resplendent in shimmering copper. The side walls have satin finished copper paneling. Tables, smoke-stands and other accessories are constructed of copper bronze and the same metal has been skillfully used in the specially designed furniture. The service buffet, near the entrance to the car, is a harmonious symphony of copper and glass. As a result of using copper as the dominant decorative note, the interior has a rich glowing beauty enhanced by the contrasting deep green and henna material with which lounges and chairs are upholstered.
