Printed on the front of the tri-fold brochure is an image of men performing railroad repair, and the text "Confidentially --/ YOU'RE IN ON A/ GREAT YEAR/ In addition to renewing four railway bridges, strengthening retaining walls and, in places, relocating the right-of-way, crews/ are engaged in reballasting the railway track throughout its/ 110.7 mile length. Heavier locomotives and larger and more/ frequent trains call for an upgraded track capable of providing/ improved weight distribution through wheels to track and ties to/ railway subgrade./ WHITE PASS & YUKON ROUTE." Printed on the back of the brochure is an image of a tractor trailer, as well as a train (both artistic renditions), with the text "Tractor-trailers will haul lead and zinc concentrates, industrial and/ domestic supplies between Whitehorse and Anvil.
