Day & Night all over Europe by Train : leaflet issued by C.I.E.C., the European Railway Information Centre : Rome : 1959 : panel 1

            The 1959 leaflet on 'how to travel by railway through Europe' and issued by C.I.C.E. - the European Railway Information Centre - allied to the International Union of Railways and also advertiisng the T.E.E. Trans-Europ Express trains and Europabus. The leaflet was designed by PESO of Antwerp and printed by the SNCB/NMBS, the Belgian National Railways.

It has a very '50s feel to it and this includes the very 'masculine' wording. It sells the speed, comfort and punctuality of the intra- and international services including details of night sleeper trains. The latter are now enjoying something of a renaissance after several decades of decline, mostly thanks to determination to make European travel less carbon hungry. The folder opens out to show a basic diagram of services and shows, rather neatly, the nineteen or so affiliated railways, their logos and national flags.
