Cascade Shasta Postcard Folder

Southern Pacific opened up the Natron Cutoff in 1926, allowing trains to go over the Cascades instead of the Siskiyous. This postcard folder has a photo of the Golden Gate Bridge before it was painted orange. In fact, it is probably an artist’s conception as it says it is copyright 1934 by Jos. B. Strauss, the chief engineer for the bridge. The bridge was not completed until 1937.

This Curt Teich folder has eighteen photos plus the cover and covers just the Cascade route, not the Siskiyou route. The colors are much brighter than in the Pacific Novelties Siskiyou folder but similar to the Curt Teich Siskiyou folder.
