Summary

Description Postcard depiction of the Chicago Great Western Limited, which traveled between Chicago and Minneapolis/ St. Paul.
Date Not posted or otherwise dated. The card promotes the fact that the railroad has automatic safety signals. Such signals came into use in the US circa 1908. The locomotive shows road number 509, which is recorded as a 4-6-0 Class E locomotive, built in 1910. The card is likely circa 1910 as the railroad would be promoting a new or fairly new feature to prospective passengers.
