PASSENGER DEPARTMENT SOUTHERN PACIFIC COMPANY SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA 1907
Sunset, the Magazine that Pictures the West and stimulates interest in all things beyond the Rockies, here points the way of tourist travelers to a most attractive and instructive feature in Far Western sight-seeing—the Wondrous Rail Highway Along the Pacific, joining California and Oregon, skirting spectacular Shasta, and over the sightly Siskiyous to the fast-flowing Columbia, through thousands of acres of roses and sweet peas, oranges and walnuts, wheat and hops, apples and apricots, with new things to see at every turn, and every comfort all the way. And don’t forget that you’ll find a continuation of this story, and will find other stories and pictures that will prove as interesting, in Sunset Magazine every month, in every year.
And now—
Shake hands! Kiss hands in haste to the sea
Where the sun comes in, and mount with me
The matchless steed of the strong New World
As he champs and chafes with a strength untold—
And away to the West, where the waves are curl’d,
As they kiss white palms to the capes of gold!
— Joaquin Miller.
