Few railroad images from the early twentieth century capture the luxury of long-distance travel quite like a sleeping car, and this one belongs to the Northern Pacific, the line that carried many visitors toward Yellowstone. Sleeping cars of that era offered berths, linens and dining service for passengers crossing the continent, and the Northern Pacific marketed its trains heavily as the scenic route to the park. Pictures like this one document the rolling hotels that made the journey itself part of the vacation. The Northern Pacific's connection to Yellowstone was strong enough that its own promotional materials became a well-known way of picturing the park long before most visitors arrived by automobile.
