Excerpt from Yellowstone National Park: Union Pacific System, Popular and Direct Yellowstone Route
The Union Pacific System is the avenue of direct approach. James Bridger, one of the first white men to discover Yellowstone, proved this in 1856 by drawing a charcoal line across a map to indicate the shortest way to get there. In Bridger’s day but few believed that any such place as Yellowstone existed. Time has vindicated the early explorer in both his contentions the Park is a fact - and his penciled short line is the route followed by the Union Pacific.
