I thought I'd posted some before, but Search didn't find them. So, I'll post these new ones here, so you can enjoy what I found at the flea market yesterday
That's all for now, I spent way more than I should have on these yesterday, not the prices, but the quantity. Oh well.

I think the first one with the Rio Grande streamliner is my favourite  What are those orange engines?

The first one makes me think of one thing: bungee jumping!

Hi AMC_Gremlin_GT,
Those are very cool post cards! I have tried so hard not to start another collection of any kind, but post cards have been calling me for years. I don't think I can hold out much longer, LOL!
Thanks for sharing.

Here is one.
A old European passenger car. A very special one. This is where the first world war armistice was signed and the War ended. The card is unused and everything written in French.

toptrain - That was same car France surrendered to Germany in In WW2
Whatever happened to that car?
Mike - very nice
AMC - real jealous of the Rio Grande pics That 1st one is under the Royal Gorge bridge & the line is now run as Royal Gorge Route Railroad
I do have postcards that say Vanishing Vistas on the back May sell them
But I'll post a few neat ones later
I even have a old 3-D pic of a train on Royal Gorge & it shows a 3rd rail!

Hey Buss. It is a nice car. The German military, once they could, destroyed it.
Moving on ; "The Reading Crusader"
** Not your common postcard of this streamlined name train. It is what the times made it. It was downsized to a few RDCs. To date it, it is January 1974, At Newark NJ's Penn Station.
