Summary edit

Description Postcard photo of a Missouri Pacific-Iron Mountain Railroad coach car.
Date circa 1910
date QS:P,+1910-00-00T00:00:00Z/9,P1480,Q5727902
to 1917. The Iron Mountain was merged with MP in 1917; thereafter the railroad was referred to as only the Missouri Pacific with no mention of the Iron Mountain. The card talks about all steel cars, electrically lit and vacuumed daily. All of these would have been selling points during that era as steel cars, non-gas illumination and cleaning the cars with a vacuum would have been standard after World War I.
