I just love this postcard depicting a miniature train full of passengers which was postmarked in 1907. The train, called the "Black Diamond" was photographed in Easton, PA by E. D. Vogel of the same city. The passengers, young and old, are all decked out in their finest clothes as if they are on a trip to somewhere important and the engineer is wearing what I would expect a real train engineer of old to wear. It was perfect for this week's Sepia Saturday theme about miniature trains.
If you enjoyed this post, please roll on down the track to Sepia Saturday to see more terrific pictures of trains, planes and automobiles!
How did you do that? The perfect picture to match the prompt!
ReplyDeleteI don't know how I did that, just happened to have it. I saw next week's theme though and I may be in trouble!
DeleteLooks like a fun ride. What a neat postcard.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute picture. It looks as if the train will tip over with so many adults riding.

Today's riders would not be so well dressed. Perfect card.
ReplyDeleteNice postcard! That train and some of the others really isn't even big enough for adults.
ReplyDeleteAn excellent match - thanks for sharing this fine image.
ReplyDeleteWonderful! The old miniature engines appear to be running on steam, so the sound must have been authentic too. All aboard!
ReplyDeleteI love that the photo captured the steam!
