Here is a pair from 1965 that are pretty neat.

I've been collecting railroad ads for a little bit now and I'm going to post my vintage railroad ads in a thread here. I have a good handful, so I probably won't post them all at once. Most will be Great Northern, but I have a few that are other roads.
