[Geysers] Geyserland 1908

[TSBryan at aol.com]

Interesting brochure, for sure. I especially like the rates for tours,  
listed on the last page. $47.50, I think it was, for a 4 day tour with hotel  
accommodations. .. Thanks, John.

“Geyserland” is the title of a brochure published by the  Oregon Short 
Line Railroad (OSL) to promote the 1908 season at Yellowstone.  The OSL was one 
of only two railroads who built tracks close to the Park  entrances, and, 
of course, at that time the primary way to reach the Park for  most tourists 
was via train. Since my collection of Yellowstone memorabilia  focuses on 
the railroads that served YNP I’m always on the lookout for the  relatively 
scarce OSL publications. I recently found this brochure and thought  it was 
interesting enough to be worth the effort to scan it and put it online.  Many 
of you Geyser Gazers may want to take a look. There is one page entitled  
Geyser Time Table. That page says “Prepared upon the authority of Official  
Guide, Joseph Peng, Old Faithful Inn, whose observations in the Park have  
covered 17 years.” Interestingly enough, in the several years I have been  
watching the Geyser List, I don’t believe I’ve ever seen a mention of Mr.  
Peng. 
If you do choose to take a look, be sure to click on a  photo to get to the 
larger views which, hopefully, are large enough to read  the text if you 
wish to do so.
