Summary edit

Description Postcard photo of the Southern Pacific train "Sunset Limited", as it traveled between Los Angeles & San Francisco. The train's eastern origin was in New Orleans.
Date Not mailed or otherwise dated. This is a hand colored photo and the train stopped travel to San Francisco quite early, staying with a New Orleans-Los Angeles route. Because of the card being hand colored and because it has a divided back, this is likely circa 1910s.
