• Overland Route (PDF) - Raymond Jorgensen - Subject: Overland Route
  For a long time Walter Feret has counseled that every paper item relating to the Overland Route Passenger Service should be acquired, as not only the early history of the UP/CNW thru trains to Denver and Portland (and eventually to LA), and the CNW /UP/ SP thru trains to SF was very interesting and complex, so was the teens and twenties era, and therefore an interesting story to recover and retell.
