Atchinson,Topeka & Santa Fe old picture postcard circa 1890's.

This is an old picture postacrd I had purchased at a local stamp collectors show about 10 years ago.

The train shown here, is the Santa Fe's California Limited. The California Limited was a "First Class" name train with all the extra fare type of amenitties wealthy people came to expect. The link and pin couplers -oil headlight -wooden cars
and smaller proprtions give this photo an 1890's sort of look. A nice publicity photograph.
