Yesterday, America was a boundless wilderness. The Indian knew the intricacies of its trails and waterways. By canoe, piroque, the horse and crude travois he penetrated the great unknown. Father Marquette, Joliet and voyageurs reached the shores of Lake Michigan in 1673. They were the advance guard of transport, pushing the frontier westward.

    Stainless steel streamlined passenger cars with roof-mounted glass domes were introduced to America in 1947 on this prototype "Train of Tomorrow". General Motors and Pullman-Standard collaborated to demonstrate to both the public and to the railroads what passenger travel would be like in the fifties. The Fall 1979 issue of Model Railroading magazine carried fe atures on how to model the locomotive and the four-car train using ready-to-run HO or N scale equipment with minor modifications. Since then, we've located a photograph of the "Train of Tomorrow" when it was still in its blue and stainless steel paint scheme. The train is on exhibit to the public at Albuquerque, New Mexico in about 1947. The entire train was sold to the Union Pacific in 1950 and repainted in their standard yellow and grey. The f6 diesels and streamlined cars were duplicated and sold to almost every class one railroad in America. Photo frolll the Gordon Bassett collection.

  • 1935 California Pacific International Exposition Excerpts from San Diego’S Balboa Park by David Marshall, AIA February 17, 2009
    1935 California Pacific International Exposition Excerpts from San Diego’s Balboa Park by David Marshall, AIA February 17, 2009 ■ Summary Still feeling the effects from the Great Depression in 1933, San Diego’s civic boosters be lieved that another expo sition in Balboa Park would help the economy and promote the city as a business and tourist destination. The 1935 California Pacific International Exposition, also known as America’s Exposition, was born. The new buildings were paid for in part by the first WPA funds allocated to an American city. Balboa Park was re-configured by San Diego architect Richard S. Requa who also oversaw the design and construction of many new buildings. The second exposition left behind a legacy of colorful stories with its odd and controversial exhibits and sideshow entertainment. America’s Exposition also provided visitors with early glimpses of a walking silver robo t and a strange electrical device known as a “television.” Only two years after it was first conceived, the 1935 California Pacific International Exposition opened on May 29, 1935. Like the first exposition, the 1935 fair was so successful it was extended for a second year. Opening ceremonies for the second season began when President Franklin D. Roosevelt pressed a gold t elegraph ke y in the White House to turn on the exposition’s lights. When the final numbers were tallied, the 1935-1936 event counted 6.7 million visitors – almost double the total of the 1915-1916 exposition. ■ Buildings Constructed for the 1935 Exposition House of Hospitality Courtyard. For this popular patio, architect Richard Requa literally carved o ut the center of the hangar-like 1915 Foreign Arts Building and opened it to the sky.

  • Monon Plans No Tower Changes Monon Hearing on Trains Ends Obit
    January 10, 1940 Hammond Time Monon Plans No Tower Changes The Monon railroad does not propose to move towers from Fayette, Russell, Clinton and Douglas street crossings in Hammond. This was indicated by A. Anderson, chief engineer, who notified board of works and safety-members that the line will not undertake a project which the city will not approve, nor will the railroad violate any city ordinances in changing crossing protection. Residents became aroused recently when it was reported that the railroad planned to operate gates on two crossings from a single tower erected midway between the crossings. The company now is installing a compressor that will furnish air at a central point. Pipe lines are near completion. They will carry air to different towers and will spare towerman the job of operating hand pumps. Combining the operation of gates at more than one crossing has been marked with success in numerous cities, officials said. Monon Hearing On Trains Ends The Indiana Public Service Commission concluded evidence in the Monon railroad company‘s petition to discontinue two train runs between Chicago and Indianapolis at a hearing yesterday in Delphi, Ind. The commission announced it would take the petition under advisement and release a ruling in the near future. Most of the evidence consisted of remonstrances against the proposed discontinuance. The company presented its case to the commission at a hearing held in December. February 11, 1940 Hammond Times Obit Joseph M. Stephens, 42, resident of Hammond for 30 years and employed as a clerk by the Monon railroad, died at St.

  • W.W. Embree Dekalb, Illinois
    Inventory of the W.W. Embree DeKalb, Illinois Collection In the Regional History Center RC 2 1 INTRODUCTION Mrs. Waite Embree and Mr. George D. Embree donated the Waite W. Embree Collection to the Regional History Collections of the University Archives in March 1967. Northern Illinois University Archivist J. Joseph Bauxar and history Professor Earl Hayter brought this collection to the University, thus preserving the single most significant group of historical records documenting the heritage of the DeKalb area. In the spring of 1978 Mr. Bauxar transferred the collection to the Regional History Center. Property rights in the collection are held by the Regional History Center; literary rights are dedicated to the public. There are no restrictions to the collection. Linear feet of shelf space: 63.50 Number of Containers: 74 + 18 notebooks Northern Illinois Regional History Center Collection 2 SCOPE AND CONTENT Waite W. Embree and his father, Elmer E. Embree, preserved most of the historical materials generated by the family’s business and social activities. Waite, especially, collected a large volume of printed materials and photographs that relate to his main interests--the history of DeKalb and the history of railroading. It is important to note that Embree was a collector: indeed, in the absence of an active county historical society, Waite Embree filled a void in DeKalb County with his keen interest in the preservation of the county’s past for many decades. In keeping with the agreement concerning the donation of the collection to the University the integrity of arrangement by Embree has been respected whenever possible.

  • San Diego's Bygone Burlesque: the Famous
    San Diego’s Bygone Burlesque: The Famous Hollywood Theatre1 Winner of the Joseph L. Howard Memorial Award by Jaye Furlonger Burlesque, one of America’s most significant contributions to popular entertainment in the pre-radio and television era, played an important role in San Diego’s social and cultural history. The legendary Hollywood Theatre put the city on the map as one of the best places in the entire country to find “big time” burlesque, often referred to as the “poor man’s musical comedy.”2 During the 1940s and 1950s, it became a major stopping point on the West Coast circuit for such big-name striptease artists as Tempest Storm, Betty Rowland, and Lili St. Cyr.3 The 1960s, however, brought an end to its “golden era,” and by 1970 the Hollywood was the last great burlesque palace to close on the West Coast. The construction of Horton Plaza in the 1980s eliminated any visible trace of the colorful, bygone world that existed at 314-316 F Street. People now park their cars where the Hollywood once stood and look to shopping and movies for entertainment, not musical comedy. The glamorous headlining striptease artists seductively advertised on the marquee and the droves of young sailors who crowded the sidewalk lining up to see pretty girls and comics have faded into the past. Early burlesque takes root in San Diego: 1880s – 1920s The first American burlesque shows developed in eastern metropolitan centers during the late nineteenth century. The shows played on people’s desires to laugh and lust, the key factors that helped spread its popularity to the far reaches of the country, despite its perceived threat to the social and moral order.
