UNION PACIFIC SYSTEM ~ YELLOWSTONE PARK

MAP OF YELLOWSTONE PARK
LARGEST IN THE WORLD 50,000 SQUARE FEET

Text on the back:
#8. OLD FAITHFUL INN CAFE' de LUXE— This rare post card was originally published by the Union Pacific Railroad for the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco. A 50,000 square foot replica of Yellowstone Park was constructed complete with plumbing. A caption from the postcard reads: 'Among these Old Faithful Geyser, true to life, throws heavenly great volumes of steam and water every 63 minutes. Beyond question Old Fiathful Inn—seating 2,000—is the gran cafe de luxe of the Exposition. The official orchestra of 80 skilled musicians here gives daily concerts." Visitation to Yellowstone Park increased dramatically in 1915 as a result of the Union Pacific's promotion via the Oregon Short Line from Ogden UT to West Yellowstone, MT.
