About this postcard

The card shows the Union Depot at Marion, Ohio, a sprawling red-roofed passenger station beside multiple tracks, with horse-drawn wagons and drays waiting in the paved depot yard. The printed caption identifies the scene, and the surrounding town and low hills are visible beyond the station. Marion was a notable railroad center in north-central Ohio, and a union depot of this kind served passengers from more than one line.
