El Paso appears in tall letters filled with city views. A star beneath the name ties the city greeting to Texas.

The Rio Grande valley carried the Camino Real through the pass long before railroads reached El Paso. In 1881 rail service brought a new period of growth to the Texas city, whose buildings fill the postcard lettering.
