Streamlined passenger train along a mountain river below snow-capped peaks, circa 1950

About this postcard

A long white streamlined passenger train, led by a diesel locomotive, curves along a river at the foot of a broad valley; green meadows and forested slopes rise to a range of snow-capped mountains under a clear blue sky, with a reddish rock outcrop at the right. The scene is a typical mid-century color view of American western mainline rail travel, when railroads such as the California Zephyr and other streamliners promoted scenic mountain routes. No caption identifies the specific line or location.
