Western Pacific Railroad Poster and Ad Collection
Western Pacific Railroad Poster and Ad Collection: The Western Pacific Railroad (reporting mark WP) was a Class I railroad in the United States. It was formed in 1903 as an attempt to break the near-monopoly the Southern Pacific Railroad had on rail service into northern California. WP’s Feather River Route directly competed with SP’s portion of the Overland Route for rail traffic between Salt Lake City/Ogden, Utah, and Oakland, California, for nearly 80 years. The Western Pacific was one of the original operators of the California Zephyr passenger line. (Wikipedia)
