Description

A postcard of an Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway exhibit, National Orange Show, San Bernardino, 1912. The image shows the exhibit, consisting of a locomotive and sevral cars on a track erected on a base made of oranges. The railroad name, logo and the year 1912 are on the display, which had a chain fence with iron posts around it and which was in a large tent. On the reverse is a printed beginning to the message noting the railroad's shops were in San Bernardino and that "The Santa Fe boys are certainly live ones . . ." The card is not used and with soiling, rubbing and a corner dampstain on the reverse, the overall condition is good.
