The Southern Pacific Railway relied more on posters for advertising than any other railroad. "As the twenties progressed, [Southern Pacific] management gradually came to the realization that their line's advertising would be more effective if it focused on a single memorable theme . . . California's romantic appeal" (Zega p. 57).
