Passengers lean from the open observation platform of the famous Overland Limited as it glides across the Great Salt Lake causeway at a spectacular blood-red sunset — this vivid linen-era postcard, card no. 7160, published by the Carpenter Paper Co. of Salt Lake City with their patriotic "See America First" reverse seal, is a companion piece to the broader Great Salt Lake railroad series and captures the romance of transcontinental rail travel at its Edwardian and early-modern peak. The lake's surface glows an eerie green-gold in the dying light, and a solitary volcanic butte rises from the water on the distant horizon. The Overland Limited was the premier Southern Pacific/Union Pacific joint transcontinental service connecting Chicago and San Francisco, and crossing the Lucin Cut-Off was one of the trip's signature spectacles. The reverse carries detailed "Facts on Great Salt Lake, Utah" text noting the lake is "more salty than any other body of water except the Dead Sea of Palestine" — a charming period geographic comparison. Unused and clean.
