Today our postcard journey on the Western Pacific takes us east of the Sierra Nevada and back in time to the era of lithographic postcards.

This card says “near Pilot, Nevada.” If it was ever anything more than a railroad siding, Pilot Nevada no longer exists. Interstate 80 parallels the railroad today.

Nevada and western Utah do not have sights comparable to the Feather River Canyon, so any vertical relief at all attracts attention including this rocky outcropping in the Great Salt Lake called Black Rock. The train added to this photo by the colorist is almost laughable in its child-like simplicity. Is that supposed to be a 2-4-0 or a 4-4-0 steam locomotive? I don’t think Western Pacific ever had either on its roster.

Here’s another view of a westbound train going by Black Rock. The back of the card has a logo commemorating Utah’s 1847 centennial (the centennial of the arrival of Mormon pioneers, not of statehood). It’s hard to believe anyone was still printing lithographic postcards in 1947. The caption refers to the Western Pacific as a “new route,” which would have been true 30 years before but not in 1947. Black Rock, incidentally, still exists but is hard to get to.

Here’s the Rio Grande and Western Pacific’s Salt Lake depot with some electric streetcars waiting for passengers. When it was built, Western Pacific was essentially a branch of the Rio Grande, but the latter lost control when both went bankrupt after being overstretched by WP construction.

Here’s another view of the depot. Both of these cards, along with most of the other lithographic postcards today and two days ago, were published by Souvenir Novelty of Salt Lake City. It’s hard to tell from the photos which came first, but since the postcard number on the back of this one (A-55875) is bigger than the previous one (A-16735), I presume this one came a little later.

Finally, we’re back in Oakland to see Western Pacific’s exhibit at the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition. I’m including it today rather than the day-before-yesterday because I had too many cards west of Nevada to include them all in one day. The card says that outside of the exhibit was “the largest spherical map in the world” which showed the routes of the Gould Lines — Missouri Pacific, Iron Mountain, Rio Grande, and Western Pacific. Inside, the exhibit consisted of “twenty-four illuminated models of cities and towns, mining camps, agricultural districts, industries, and notable scenic points on the lines of the” four railroads.
