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.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>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.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://john-s-island.blogspot.com/2012/06/geyserland.html">http://john-s-island.blogspot.com/2012/06/geyserland.html</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>John Robinett<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Seattle, Washington<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
