Postcard of the Conch Tour Train filled with visitors. The description on the verso reads, ‘64-Passenger Conch Tour Train, Key West, Florida. Operates conducted lecture tours daily on the historic Island City. The train passes more than 60 points of interest, running from the Atlantic Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico. Key West is the nation’s southernmost city and the only town in the U.S.A. that has never had a frost in the history of the Weather Bureau. Color Photo by Ed Swift.’ The message on the verso reads, ‘Penny dearest - Understand you’ve been pulled into the “time” for change of duty with Nancy - I never realized what a chunk of work and all its outsides being done by a newcomer and inside by “Mehie” this would be, but you two must come see the results. All love & thanks, Jeannie.’ The postcard is addressed to Mrs. Penny Pennington c/o O.A. Poirier, Fox Run Road, Norwalk, Connecticut.Subject Place
