This booklet, which is from the NPRHA — Lorenz Schrenk collection, is dated August 1955. NP probably reissued a similar booklet with minor updates every year in the late 1950s and early 1960s, but this was one of the first if not the first to feature a vista-dome car on the cover. The booklet covers St. Paul to Seattle, including both the Butte and Helena lines, and also presents Pasco to Portland on the Spokane, Portland & Seattle.

Sidebars briefly describe Yellowstone Park, a brief history of the Northern Pacific, the 1,486 miles of rivers followed by the North Coast Limited, and the 28 mountain ranges visible from Northern Pacific passenger trains. The Yellowstone sidebar has a photo of a Yellowstone tour bus going under the Roosevelt Arch, which was designed by Robert Reamer, who also designed Old Faithful Inn (which had been funded by the NP) and NP’s Gardiner Depot.
