Item description from seller

Brown cloth spine over beige boards lettered in brown, housed in beige slipcase. A fine press-y publication with thick paper and fun typography & illustration, several pages at rear to make notes. Fine condition. Laid in are the passengers (generally journalists & industry) who were "clinging to the rigging" during this special train, as well as a schedule of events for the Golden Gate Exposition. Several train companies ran specials to San Francisco during the Exposition. However, I'm guess this might be Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway because the narrator is "Sam Bledsoe" which is very likely a reference to Samuel T. Bledsoe (May 12, 1868 ? March 8, 1939), who was president of the company. The text gives a brief description of each of the main stops along the way: Santa Fe, Grand Canyon, Los Angeles. A delightful item.
