Moment of excitement - plains Indillns, desperate for winterfood and hides, stampede buffalo onto the tracks staUing animmigrant train heading West.

The West was a wildemess ofprairie, mountains, and plains . ..a vast hunting ground of the Indians. Transportation was byhorse, by foot, or by stagecoach.

The adventurous ones Ctlme FU'St . . . the miners and thetrappers, followed by the pioneers with their plows and theirCtlttle, pushing the frontier westWtud, mile by mile.

Then CtZme the railroad . . . gleaming rails over which trainsraYed, farther into the raw, new country. Settlers moved in.New towns sprang up. Territories were organized, and soonthey beCtZme states.

And now after a century ofservice, a new, contemporary kind

of railroad has emerged. Its methods of moving people andproducts are modern. The emphasis now is on effrdent,specilllized service and equipment, and in bringing in newindustry to keep the West building.

Union Pacific's constant objective is to provide superior trans­

portation service. Competition is keen and only the rugged willsurvive. Union Pacific welcomes the chaUenge.
