Last Spike Framable Pictures

Posted on November 6, 2016 by Train LoverOctober 9, 2016

This oddly dimensioned folder contains two framable portraits of the Jupiter and 119, the locomotives that met at the Last Spike ceremony in 1869. Unfortunately, the portraits are printed on some sort of metallic material such as aluminum foil, creating a silvery background that is impossible to reproduce digitally. Instead, it just comes out a muddy grey.

So don’t wait any longer and get a rich and diverse range of lawn grass which consists of varieties like Palmetto and Sapphire soft leaf Buffalo, Shade Master Buffalo, Santa Ana Couch, Winter Green Couch levitra without prescription Grass, Kikuyu Grass, Empire Zoysia, and the rest. Always remember that this viagra generico cialis condition is unavoidable and it is relatively the same as menopause. If you take purchase levitra more than one tablet within 24 hours. Life satisfaction is defined as one’s evaluation of life as a friend and teacher. levitra generic no prescription Click image to download a 5.8-MB PDF of this folder and its contents.

I’m still including it here with the framable pictures shown in the folder and then removed. The folder isn’t dated, but it has a photo of one of the DD-40 Centennial locomotives that UP put into service in 1969. So it seems likely that this folder was given to people during the centennial, perhaps at some of the Golden Spike Centennial events held in 1969.

Miscellaneous UP Postcards

Posted on November 5, 2016 by Train LoverApril 26, 2020

These cards don’t fit into any broader category, so I’m just including them here together. The first was mailed from Washington, DC to Guthrie Center, Iowa, in 1913. The card says, “We are all at home now,” so perhaps the sender took a UP/C&NW train from Iowa to Chicago. The UP line that connects with the Wabash in Kansas City doesn’t go through Iowa.

Union Pacific Station Postcards

Posted on November 4, 2016 by Train LoverOctober 8, 2016

All but one of today’s postcards were published by the Barkalow Brothers. As mentioned here before, theyhad exclusive rights to print photo books, postcards, and similar items for sale in their newsstands that were located in many Union Pacific Stations. The Barkalow postcards are of a style that was used between about 1915 and 1930, though one of these is postmarked 1935.

The Cheyenne train station was completed in 1887 and made from sandstone quarried from near Ft. Collins, Colorado. Sometime in the 1930s, UP added a bus terminal for its Interstate buses and started calling the complex the “Cheyenne Transportation Center.”

Sun Valley Summer Postcards

Posted on November 3, 2016 by Train LoverOctober 3, 2016

There are three different styles of postcards here, but all say to use a one cent stamp, so all are from before 1951, when the price was raised to two cents. They are also all from after World War II.

This card has a linen finish, which theoretically makes it older than some of the other cards. But it was probably available in the same years as the other cards shown here.

Sun Valley Winter Postcards

Posted on November 2, 2016 by Train LoverOctober 3, 2016

These postcards depict Sun Valley in the winter. Most are undated though all but one appear to be post-war. Since UP sold Sun Valley in 1964, it is likely that none are after that year.

The back of this card has the “overland” logo, so it is from before World War II. It also is one-half of a perforated dual card.

Panama-Pacific Expo Postcards

Posted on November 1, 2016 by Train LoverOctober 3, 2016

Some of these postcards depict scenes at the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition in San Francisco. Others mention the exposition on the back. Still others have postmarks from around the time of the expo. But all of them have a similar grayish-and-white frame around the postcard photo, indicating that even the undated ones are from the same era.

The Tower of Jewels was the symbol of the fair in the same way that the Space Needle symbolized the 1962 Seattle Fair. More than 100,000 multifaceted pieces of glass were embedded in the tower causing it to sparkle day and night.

Union Pacific Locomotives

Posted on October 31, 2016 by Train LoverOctober 2, 2016

Despite the size of this brochure–9″x12″ unfolding to 18″x36″–and the centennial event for which it was published, it is far from a complete history of Union Pacific locomotives. Only one-third of one side depicts and describes steam locomotives, showing just three: a 4-4-0 American class, a 4-12-2 Union Pacific class, and a 4-8-8-4 Big Boy class.

The other side shows Diesels, with special emphasis on the Centennial class 6900s. Beyond that, it shows just four: the General Motors DD-35A, GP-38-2, and SD-40-2, plus General Electric’s U30C. In short, the emphasis was on the most modern power found on the railroad, not on its history.

UP 1969 Report to Shippers

Posted on October 30, 2016 by Train LoverOctober 2, 2016

In 1969, Union Pacific celebrated the Last Spike centennial with a lot of different publications. The railroad had probably issued reports to shippers before, as they were common in the 1960s, but this one placed a little more emphasis on history than usual.

“The biggest and mightiest steam engine ever built was the famous U.P. ‘Big Boy,'” says the report. “The largest and most powerful diesel locomotives today are the Union Pacific Centennial engines developing 6,600 horsepower.” The former statement was disputable, but the latter was true at the time and may still be true today. While the Centennials are no longer in active service, but so far no Diesels have been made that are more powerful. Of course, shippers were and are more interested in cost and reliability than the power or type of locomotive used to haul their goods.

Longer 1969 Centennial Booklet

Posted on October 29, 2016 by Train LoverSeptember 27, 2016

Yesterday’s booklet seemed lavish, but this one is even more so. Though the front covers are identical, this one is 16 pages longer, and that doesn’t count a sheet of tissue paper that is inlaid with images of UP freight cars and inserted between the covers and the interior pages.
