The Comet

This brochure advertises the short-lived all-Pullman train that Northern Pacific operated from Minneapolis-St. Paul to Gardiner in the park season, which would have been June 16 to September 15 in the year the brochure was issued. The six-panel brochure includes a half a dozen photos of the train and several photos of Yellowstone including the Frank Haynes garbage-dump bear photo on the cover.

Wikipedia’s not-always-reliable list of named-passenger trains doesn’t include a Northern Pacific Comet, but it does list the Yellowstone Comet as a train that operated from 1926 to 1932. However, I’m pretty sure I found this in the same Minnesota History Center file as yesterday’s 1924 North Coast Limited brochure. Continue reading

For Twenty-Five Years

Northern Pacific inaugurated the North Coast Limited in 1900, so 1924, when this brochure was produced, was the 25th year of operation. This six-panel brochure includes a dozen photos, a list of NP passenger representatives, and a letter to travel agents from A.B. Smith, NP’s passenger traffic manager.

I found this brochure in the NP archives at the Minnesota History Center. I photographed each page because the center doesn’t allow the use of scanners, so the results are not up to my usual standards. I also failed to note exactly how the pages are arranged so I may have switched a couple of them. However, it is still provides some useful historic information.

More Photocard Dinner Menus

Here are three more NP menus in the black & white photocard series. As previously noted, these were probably used as advertisements for the dining car and train more than as menus themselves. None of these are in my collection; I found the images on ebay.

At 136 square miles, Yellowstone Lake is almost as big as Lake Pend O’Reille, making it hard to capture in one photo. In this photo, Seattle photographer Asahel Curtis further handicaps himself by taking the photo in portrait mode rather than landscape. The photo is so generic that, like yesterday’s, it is impossible to say exactly where it was taken or even to be sure it was taken at Yellowstone Lake. Continue reading

Lake Pend O’Reille Dinner Menu

At 148 square miles, Lake Pend O’Reille is huge, so it is probably impossible to know where this particular photo was taken. The menu card spells the name with an apostrophe; it is usually spelled without one today. Like yesterday’s menu, the scans for this one were contributed by Jake Barker.

Lake Pend Oreille is fed by the Clark Fork River, which flows through Missoula. Sometimes for fun I ask my Missoula friends, “What is the Clark Fork River a fork of?” They will usually say the Columbia. But the Clark Fork doesn’t flow into the Columbia; it flows into Lake Pend Oreille, and then a river called the Pend Oreille River flows from the lake to the Columbia, so technically the Clark Fork is a fork of the Pend Oreille River.

Cascades Camp Dinner Menu

“Camping in the Cascades” is the title of this Asahel Curtis photo with Mount Rainier in the background. Like the Mount Rainier menu card presented a few days ago, this one was contributed by Streamliner Memories reader Jake Barker.

The picture reminds me of the difference between horse packing and backpacking. I usually backpack, carrying wisps of tents, sleeping bags, and other ultralight equipment that would have been unimaginable when this photo was taken. But I’ve been on some horse trips, and the horsemen typically bring huge canvas tents, large crates of goods, and even a folding woodstove with a tall stovepipe. The four men in this picture are clearly horsepackers.

Gate of the Mountains

As the Missouri River leaves the Rockies, it passed through a 1,200-foot-deep canyon that Meriwether Lewis called “Gates of the Mountains.” This photograph is titled “Gate of the Mountains,” but since “gates” implies more than one and only one of the “gates” is shown in the photo, perhaps this wasn’t a typographical error.

Like the previous two menus, the scan of this one was contributed by a Streamliner Memories reader. However, he was unable to provide a scan of the menu side. As a substitute, I used the menu side of the Tacoma menu.

Black & White Haynes Photo of Old Faithful

We’ve seen a colorized version of this photo before on a Union Pacific menu. Northern Pacific also used a colorized version on one of its menu cards. It was also used on postcards, booklets, brochures, and magazine ads. It may be the most-frequently reproduced photo of Old Faithful in history.

Holland Lake Menu Card

If these menu cards were printed using some sort of photographic process, as opposed to ink, it would explain the deterioration of the images. The bluish reflections on the edges of this picture, for example, are not artifacts from the scan but are really on the photo.

Still, I have to question the selection of this photo of Holland Lake in Montana for this card. Below is a color photo showing what NP photographer Asahel Curtis meant to portray in his black-and-white photo. The Mission Mountains in the distance have faded into the clouds on the menu card. Taking this photo probably required lugging camera equipment over a four-mile roundtrip hike. Continue reading

Asahel Curtis Photo of Tacoma

Asahel Curtis (1874-1941) was a photographer whose work focused on the growth of the Northwest, and Northern Pacific used many of his photos in its early advertising. Born in Minnesota, his family moved to Washington when he was 14. His older brother, Edward, started a photo studio in Seattle and Asahel initially worked for him. When Edward put his own name on photos taken by Asahel, the latter started his own studio.

Mount Rainier Club Menu

I’ve previously presented Northern Pacific menu cards like this one, with a black-and-white (sometimes colorized) photo on one side and a dinner menu on the other side. I’ve always been frustrated that the menus come with no indication of a date but estimated that they were printed in the 1910s. Now this one, scans of which were contributed by Streamliner Memories reader Jake Barker, gives a better clue about when they were used.

Instead of a dinner menu, this one offers “club meals,” which it says are “served regularly” in NP dining cars. The bottom lists “A.B. Smith” as the passenger traffic manager. We’ve seen a 1922 booklet that also lists Smith as the passenger traffic manager, but elsewhere I’ve seen a 1920 NP publication that lists someone else. Thus this card, and presumably others in the series, must date to no earlier than 1921. Continue reading
