This postcard shows the Western Star along the Flathead River. The photo is credited to Bob and Ira Spring, twin brothers who wrote more than 60 books about Northwest hiking trails and wilderness. Postmarked in 1958, the person who used this postcard says he “saw place where new all continuous welded rail is being installed in new high speed curves. . . . Train is nice as always.”
