Northern Pacific introduced this cover to its timetables in 1957. The cover shows the domes but highlights the round-tailed observation car. Like most cars introduced on the train before 1954, these cars were built by Pullman, but in 1954 NP — perhaps influenced by the Burlington — began buying cars from Budd, starting with the dome cars.

In January 1958, Northern Pacific introduced new Budd-built diners to the North Coast Limited. The back cover of this timetable encourages people to enjoy “fresh Rocky Mountain brook trout” and “select boneless prime sirloin” in these diners. A color image of the black-and-white photo on the back cover was used on Northern Pacific postcards.
