Two more of my favorites. The first two pics are the UP station in West Yellowstone, Mt, Western gateway to Yellowstone National Park. It was a short walk through the Park gate.
That is the stone&log station. At 90 degrees rightward from the photographer is:
the Dining Hall. The Park Special always arrived in the early AM and did not carry a dining car. The Conductor went through the train and took breakfast orders and upon arrival you got off the train and walked into this Hall and sat down for breakfast. These pics were taken Summer 1960, the last year of service into West Yellowstone. In later years the Park Special tied up in Victor, Id, on the West side of the Tetons.
We would get off the train and drive a rental car over the pass into Jackson, the Southern gateway to Grand Teton and Yellowstone NPs.
