By the late 1920s, Logan had begun "including a train into many of his designs. A particularly vivid image - two Overland Limiteds passing as they cross the Great Salt Lake in opposite directions - summed up the campaign and the era: It set a distinguished grouping upon the Overland's observation platform, absorbed in the drama of both the West and western railroading" (Zega p. 61). Zega fig. 78 (var).
