About this postcard

The Union Depot in Marion, Ohio, stands beside multiple tracks, its long red roof fronting a paved yard where horse-drawn wagons and drays wait. The town and low hills are visible beyond the station. Marion was a busy railroad center in north-central Ohio, and a union depot served passengers from more than one line. A traveler named Grace B. wrote to a friend in Cleveland that she had arrived in Marion and the children had been fine so far.
