Union Pacific – Compliments of the Pennzoil Company, used to lubricate the steamliners! Size 16.5 by 12This auction is for a great piece of advertising for both the Union Pacific Railroad and also Pennzoil. This is a framed glossy picture of a very early Union Pacific locomotive and a Union Pacific 5400-hp diesel powered Streamliner with Pennzoil advertising in the bottom left corner. This was a print given by the Pennzoil Company. The advertising reads “Compliments of the Pennzoil Company, whose regular passenger-car motor oil SAE 40 is used to lubricate the Steamliners. ” The other wording reads “The Progressive Spirit! When critics looked at Union Pacific’s tiny wood-burning locomotive of the 1860’s, and heard of the dreams and plans for a great transcontintinental railroad, they said: “They’ll have to sprout wings to get over those mountains. It can’t be done.” But it was done–as shown in Paramount’s Union Pacific. Thus was exemplified the courage and the initiative that have characterized Union Pacific’s entire history….from the tiny locomotive that critics said “rocked and puffed like a baby volcano” to today’s giant 5400- hp. Diesel-powered streamliners that make the trip from Chicago to Los Angeles in 39 3/4 hours.” The Progressive Spirit. Condition is Used. Shipped with USPS Priority Mail.
