Wo BURLINGTON'S 100th ANNIVERSARY One hundred years ago, a little group of foresighted men obtained a charter for the twelve-mile Aurora Branch Railroad. From that humble beginning (on February 12, 1849) has grown the present Burlington system-11,000 miles of railroad, serving fourteen great states. Rich in the pioneering tradition, the Burlington has contributed many important innovations in railroading . . . from the first railway post office (1862) to America's first diesel-powered, streamlined train (1934) and the first Vista-Dome car (1945). The 35,000 men and women of the Burlington Lines are proud of its past progress and its present achievements. But they are more interested in the future. The Burlington's first century, eventful and productive, lies behind us. Ahead is a new horizon ... a new challenge ... a new opportunity -to serve more people better through the years to come. , y BUR1INGTO LINES AN ESSENTIAL LINK IN TRANSCONTINENTAL TRANSPORTATION "Bud" Pankonin, who recently visited his parents, Mr and Mrs. E.
