About this postcard

Four people, two men and two women, stand together on the platform at Wildwave Station. The women wear long white dresses and hats; the men wear suits. A sign on the station roof reads "WILDWAVE." The group is posed for the camera, with the station platform and roofline behind them. Small railroad stations served as local gathering points and travel hubs in the early 1900s.
