The town of West Yellowstone, Montana, became a popular entrance to
Yellowstone National Park after it was established following the arrival
of the Union Pacific Railroad in 1907. The Union Pacific built
extensive facilities at West Yellowstone to serve the thousands of
tourists who arrived by train in the summer months to visit the park.
After train service ended, Union Pacific donated its West Yellowstone
facilities to the town and the structures are used today for a variety
of purposes. The story of West Yellowstone and its UP heritage provides a
vivid reminder of when travel to Yellowstone National Park included a
rail journey.
