The massive French Second Empire–roofed bulk of Salt Lake City's Union Pacific Railroad Station dominates this vivid linen-era card, its red brick and mansard slate flanked by period automobiles — late 1930s and early 1940s coupes and sedans that date the scene precisely — while the bold yellow-and-red Union Pacific shield blazes from the roofline against a bright western sky. Inside those walls, the back text tells us, hang murals of the "Driving of the Golden Spike" and the arrival of the Mormon pioneers, twin founding myths of Utah rendered in permanent pigment for the travelers passing through. The card was produced to coincide with Utah's 1947 centennial celebration — "You Are Invited to Attend Utah's Centennial in 1947" is printed on the reverse — making it a deliberate piece of promotional Americana, issued when rail travel was still the dominant mode of long-distance movement before the interstate highway era. Published by Deseret Book Company, Salt Lake City, and printed by Genuine Curteich Chicago "C.T. Art Colortone," this unused card is in excellent condition with vivid color and clean borders.
