CNW Chicago North Western Bern Hill 11x17 FRAMED poster

Description

This print is restored from a promotional print for the Chicago & North Western (CNW) Railroad.
It was painted by Bern Hill, a freehand artist famous for his marketing work for Electro-Motive Division in the 1950’s. It is part of a series of promotional posters for GM's EMD Unit featuring their customer's trains.
The Chicago North Western (CNW) was also known as the “Northwestern” and operated 5,000 miles of track in the Upper Midwest at its peak. The CNW connected the Union Pacific at Omaha to make the Chicago to West Coast connection. CNW had interests and ownership in a number of other mid-sized midwestern railroads including the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis, and Omaha (Omaha Road) and Minneapolis and St. Louis Railroad.  The CNW also absorbed the Chicago Great Western Railroad, known as the Corn Belt Route. After a series of restructuring moves, it was acquired by the Union Pacific Railroad. The CNW had a number of joint passenger trains to the West Coast including the City of Los Angeles, City of San Francisco, City of Denver, Challenger, and the Overland Limited.
