Erie Station

This monochrome photo postcard captures an atmospheric scene at the 1915 Erie Station in Chester, New York, showcasing an old steam locomotive billowing thick smoke as it arrives at the station where several people are either waiting or observing. The rustic setting is emphasized by a traditional station building labeled "CHESTER," a curved railway, and a forested backdrop, all underlined by the presence of telegraph poles and serene, hilly terrain, evoking a nostalgic early twentieth-century American railroad environment.
