Rawlins is a city in Carbon County, Wyoming. It was named for Union General John Aaron Rawlins, who camped in the locality in 1867.

Rawlins is a great town on the Union Pacific. I have been there many times between Cheyenne and Green River.
Anyone have any vintage pics of Rawlins, Wyoming by any chance?
;-p
I Google-mapped Rawlins yesterday; it's not quite as cute as it appears in the 1950's and 60's. Neat postcard!
