UNITED AIRCRAFT. "UA Turbo-Train" stopped in 1971 at Billings Montana, unused chrome postcard, near mint. $1.50 r(u)m(b)a(u)#

UNITED STATES NAVY RAIL ROAD / NAVY RAILROAD / NAVAL RAILROAD. Uncaptioned circa-1910 sepia-tone Azo (triangles up) real photo postcard picturing 3 sailors seated on the cow-catcher of a U. S. Navy Railroad steam locomotive. That railroad is used to ship ordinance & supplies among the widespread portions of Naval Base Kitsap (located in Kitsap, Mason & Jefferson Counties Washington). Lengthy message on back reads 'This picture was taken in a place called Chicago(sic) Wn. near Seattle Wn. where we were camped in a woods.' Chico is about 17 miles west of Seattle, over water, and near Bremerton where the Navy Yards are, in Kitsap County. Strictly speaking Chico is not a part of Naval Base Kitsap, but it could well have been the only nearby place that the sailor writing on the back knew. These sailors might have been on rest & recreation while their ship was being fixed, and it is easy to see how they could get the name of such a small place wrong. Obviously one-of-a-kind. Sold but front side still available for scholarly study & research as an enlarged 300-dpi scan (publication quality) in .jpg format for $3.75. w(c)m(n)r(u)

UNSPECIFIED. "141 TD" quality 7"x10" modern color print showing an example tank locomotive run in either direction on suburban train lines, copyrighted history & technical details in English on the back. Ready to frame: three punch holes in margin could be matted out. $3.75 r

UNSPECIFIED. "1447.  Traveling thru the Mountains the / Modern Way." unused postcard made in the USA for publisher J. L. Robbins in Spokane, numbered R-71649 on back, upper corner crease hard to detect from the front (in a dark area), very short stress mark just into the caption top. Surprisingly hard to find. If a railroad paid for its printing, then they forgot that most import detail when they were captioning! If a local business paid for it, then they left out the name of the location! $8.50 r(u)

UNSPECIFIED. "2128" German locomotive with 2 track inspectors beside their quadcycle inspection vehicle, sepia-tone real photo postcard with matte finish, German writing on back in old script. No publisher or photographer attribution either side. Unusual & possibly  unique.

UNSPECIFIED. "The COEY BICYCLE ATTACHMENT / Invented and patented by C. A. Coey. / Fits any bicycle. Weighs only eight pounds. / Can be folded when not in use. Can be attached in / three minutes. Greatest seller of the age. Agents / wanted. Order today. First order secures agency. / PRICE $12.00 / C. A. COEY & CO. / D-1424 Michigan Avenue / CHICAGO ILLINOIS" postcard with an enlarged black & white illustration of the attachment on back, mailed 1908 to the Romeo Electric Light Plant at Romeo Michigan. Astonishing illustration: a man, woman & child each on their own bicycle riding a railroad track, stabilized to the rail they are not on by the device. [And, hopefully, not encountering a train coming from the other direction! The postcard never stated the detachment time!] This device ostensibly made a smooth paved road out of a railroad track, or so they thought. By showing a family on an outing, the ad is essentially saying "Safe enough for your entire family." By showing a woman riding a bicycle not in a public place and with her husband, she is not being depicted as the loose woman some of her day might have thought. No other offers or displays of this advertising when we searched the internet; all we could find were black & white ads that appeared in a few magazines & journals of the time. So the inventors did try to make money from the invention, but evidently their efforts did not last long. Surprised? We venture to say that the publicity of a few unfortunate accidents put this bad idea to a well-deserved rest. Hopefully not many horrific family outings resulted. $180.00 bi(c)ar(u)fg(c)

UNSPECIFIED. "The Steam Hauler" postcard mailed FEB 7 1911 to Miss Marie LeCount in Cromwell Indiana, small dark spot at upper right edge near a corner crease, smaller bottom corner crease opposite, tape repairs tears from the bottom center very skillfully (you would first notice it from the back), other edge wear is minor. This powerful locomotive could operate on snow or ice on 2 caterpillar tracks, pulling as many as 14 loaded sleighs of logs. In this time frame it would have been built by the Phoenix Iron Works in Eau Clair Wisconsin. Notice the caption emphasis is on the machine, not the place or logging company involved. Therefore, the generality of how and when it could be used is the whole point of the view, probably part of an advertising campaign. Sold but front side still available for scholarly study & research as an enlarged 300-dpi scan (publication quality) in .jpg format for $3.75. w(e)r(u)wlu

UNSPECIFIED. Uncaptioned real photo post card showing a worker riding the rails of what is probably an interurban electric railroad line in a small engine-driven work car, fairly fresh, unused. Electric utilities also used such cards. Unlikely to be produced in commercial quantities: note the pronounced tilt, lack of photographer attribution or publisher attribution or caption. $5.00 r(u)u

UNSPECIFIED. Uncaptioned sepia-tone Azo (triangles both ways) real photo postcard shows 4 railroad workers on a locomotive (number showing is 305), toned back. Identification of men from writing on front: "Regg, Buck, W. D.  Pruiett 1923"; handwriting a little hard to read. Postcard sold.

UNSPECIFIED. Uncaptioned sepia-tone real photo, approximately 6-3/4" x 4-5/8", showing an interracial interurban crew of at least 14 returning from a rockslide removal mission -- probably in Ohio or West Virginia considering our source. A breaking mechanism is on the back of the specialized first car to drop weights on large rocks. The shattered rocks were then shoveled aboard the trailing flatcar (numbered 214 on its side) by the men. Seldom seen material & exceptionally interesting. Multiple railroad collectors passing by the table where this was displayed at a show did a double-take; we noticed & bought it. $20.00 r(u)

UNSPECIFIED. Uncaptioned sepia-tone Azo (all triangles up) real photo post card showing locomotive 438 & five trainmen, good focus & contrast, heavily toned back, 2 internal creases. Part of the tender informs us the railroad's abbreviation ended in Y. $5.00 r(u)p

UNSPECIFIED. Uncaptioned sepia-tone Azo (triangles both ways) real photo postcard of a mobile railyard crane & 3 workers, a job in progress; bottom corner crease, oxidation consistent with circa-1910 age.

Incorporation was under the laws of the State of New York & the company headquarters was in Rome NY. Image shows 2 of their rolling stock & a horse-drawn carriage. Approximate size 11-1/4" x 7-7/8". Certificate carries no value on any of today's financial indices & no transfer of ownership is implied.

"V. F. N. S. No 4" showing an electric interurban stopped in a rural setting with its 2 conductors; uncaptioned real photo post card mailed at Dayton Ohio 1909 to Mr. E. Mikesell in Camden Ohio. We do not understand the abbreviation (taken from the writing on back), but given the origin & destination the place & route is probably in Montgomery County Ohio. Obviously one-of-a-kind: no caption, no attribution to a photographer or publisher. $15.00 r(v)o(m)

VIRGINIA BLUE RIDGE. Black & white 4.5"x6.5" glossy photo of its steam locomotive #5 Schenectady 70421 0-6-0 & its tender at Sand Creek Virginia in May 1950, good focus & composition, image a bit bright.

WABASH RAILROAD. Uncaptioned sepia-tone real photograph the size of a regular postcard (back is blank) on thin stock, showing Wabash engines #632 (left) & 649 nose-to-nose on the same track. The very small depot nearby has architecture sufficiently distinctive (3 side windows, 3 side roof supports, 1 chimney) that it may make the exact place identifiable. Sold but its front is still available for scholarly study & research as an enlarged & enhanced (publication-quality) 300-dpi scan in .jpg format. $3.75 r(w)

WABASH RAILROAD. "Wabash Engine, St. Thomas, Ont. / 103,501 J.V." including tender numbered 1631, unused souvenir post card printed in Great Britain, published by S. H.

Seen elsewhere as high as $9.99, but we only need $4.75. pr(w)

WALHONDING VALLEY RAILROAD. "Building new track / Walhonding V. R." with the caption capital letters having very fancy flourishes (shown right with enhanced contrast); unused circa-1911 real photo postcard with unevenly divided back & well-rounded corners, toned both sides. About our age estimate: In 1911 the Walhonding Valley Railroad had long been a portion of the 'Toledo, Walhonding Valley & Ohio Railroad', so the latter terminology was current & could have been abbreviated by the caption writer in an effort to be more specific about the Walhonding Valley location.  In 1911 the railroad was merged again to form a part of the Toledo, Columbus & Ohio River Railroad Company. This might well have given the new corporation impetus to build new track, so as to handle the anticipated increase in traffic; it was no longer just a canal-killer. In all events, a rare postcard. $20.00 r(w)o(w)

WARREN BISBEE RAILWAY. "WARREN BISBEE RAILWAY" showing interurban car 101 paused near the Custom House, occupants disembarked for a personal photo; unused Azo real photo (triangles up) post card with good focus & contrast, trivial wear at 2 corners, otherwise excellent condition. During the time this was taken (1908 - 1909) this Arizona electric interurban ran only 8 miles. servicing nearby copper mines along a private right-of-way. Obviously one-of-a-kind: there is no attribution to a photographer or publisher, and there is no caption (so we just used what we could read off the car itself). This is the end of the line; tracks do not extend to the viewer's right. That fact and the 'Custom House ' sign place the location definitively at Bisbee. Sold but still available for scholarly study & research as an enlarged (about 771% of original print area) & enhanced 200-dpi scan in .jpg format. $2.00 a(b)r(w)m***

A. & Mount Vernon Railway, unused, light album marks on back, long but faint internal crease, wear near lower left front corner. More fully the electric railroad company to which the back refers was the Washington, Alexandria & Mount Vernon Railway. Established in 1892, it merged with another railroad on October 17 1910. Its lines were important because they encouraged the growth of the streetcar suburbs of Washington DC. Google their full name & you will not get a single postcard in only about 10 returns. $6.00 vcr

"The Famous 'War Engine 'General' at the Fair" lent to the Century of Progress Exposition (1933-4) by Then Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis Railway, 2 Dixie Line logos on front & back; unused postcard, minor corner rounding. Surprisingly hard to find. Our Internet search found it in the holdings of 3 museums--Lake County Discovery Museum, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign & Southern Museum of Civil War and Locomotive Archive) -- plus one recorded sale as part of a large lot, and only 1 other listing (which proved erroneous)!

WESTERN & ATLANTIC RAILROAD / W. & A. R. R. Uncaptioned sepia-tone Azo (triangles all up) real photo postcard showing the Andrews Raiders Monument in the National Cemetery at Chattanooga Tennessee, 4 well-dressed men & an auto near the surrounding graves; good edges. Obviously one-of-a-kind: no caption, no photographer or publisher attribution. We like this image of the monument better than most printed cards of it we have seen. By taking it from the back instead of the front, the photographer showed more of the surrounding graves & captured the fact that some people simply stopped to regard it respectfully. Sold but front side still available for scholarly study & research as an enlarged 300-dpi scan (publication quality) in .jpg format for $3.75. r(w)t(c)cc

WESTERN MARYLAND RAIL ROAD / WESTERN MARYLAND RAILWAY. Uncaptioned sepia-tone real photo postcard showing locomotive 1648; mailed OCT 20 1909 from Wellersburg PA to Miss Maude Fuller in Meyersdale Pennsylvania using a Hudson-Fulton 2˘ stamp. How we identified the railroad: a detailed Flickr post (find it by Googling locomotive 1648) of the same image stated its other example was mailed 1909 (our year) from Cumberland Maryland. Wellersburg is 10.1 miles away from Cumberland Maryland.  The B&O and the Western Maryland Railway both service Cumberland. By coincidence the B&O historical site shows a B&O engine 1648 but it is obviously not this one; a glance will convince you. Meyersdale is serviced by the Western Maryland, as you can verify with the detailed route map at alphabetroute.com. That was hard! $37.50 r(w)m(c)

WESTERN MARYLAND RAIL ROAD / WESTERN MARYLAND RAILWAY. Uncaptioned sepia-tone Azo (triangles up) real photo postcard of 2 women & a teenage girl on the end of a caboose (numbered ..30), ...
