Sleeping car interiors were a selling point for the Northern Pacific Railway's trains to Yellowstone, which the company promoted under the name "Wonderland." The page this picture comes from is a booklet illustration, so it shows the car as the railroad wanted travelers to imagine it: upholstered seating, berths, and polished woodwork meant to make a long overland trip feel comfortable. Northern Pacific's Park Branch opened in 1883 and brought visitors to the park's northern gateway at Gardiner, Montana. Looking at the interior, notice how much of the rail experience of the era depended on lighting, fittings, and the sleeping arrangements that made overnight travel possible.
