The image on this postcard depicts a small train, possibly a coal train, winding in back of a small group of homes. Since the postcard was created in Albia Iowa, it is possible that the scene is of Albia or of nearby Buxton Iowa.
The right margin on the back says: “Young’s Photo Parlors, 19 1/2 South Clinton Street, Albia, Iowa” It is sent to a friend in Madrid, Iowa.
