<DIV>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.</DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal>“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.<o:p></o:p></P>
