The Transportation Bulletin below shows how the Southern Pacific handled the demand for access to the 1960 Winter Olympcs. Greyhound buses connected with regular and special trains on the main line at Truckee. This bulletin was saved by the late Ed von Nordeck.

The first page is a bit foggy, but there's lots to learn from pages 2 and 3.

Just imagine holding an event with this year's snowfall!
