This transparency, part of a set commissioned by Amtrak Marketing, depicts the northbound Coast Starlight near Dunsmuir, Calif. In the early twentieth century, Dunsmuir prospered as a tourist destination, and still retains much of its 1920s and 1930s charm. Located on the upper Sacramento River, within sight of Mount Shasta and the Trinity Alps, the town is both a cultural and outdoor destination, given its lovely setting.
