Despite being a bit of a closet train buff, I only have 1 sepia vintage postcard of a train, so quite an easy choice for me for this week's Sepia Saturday. It's a postcard of the Scotch Express approaching Crewe. For those of you from outside the UK, Crewe was once a major rail intersection with impressive rail works which built and maintained vast numbers of the country's locomotives.
Scotch Express approaching Crewe, c.1906
I did also find this postcard which, although not sepia, fits the theme well enough for inclusion.
Lady looking out of a train window
As usual, 100's of vintage postcards on my web site

I love the postcard of the lady looking out the train window.
ReplyDeleteI think the photo of the lady looking out of the window would have been sepia if it had not been colorized.
ReplyDeleteAnd I wonder where that train was going :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's a long time I don't leave a comment, but I follow you in silence anyway, cos I like this blog so much :-)
A big kiss to the UK, I love that country so much and I'm so sorry I didn't move there in time :-*
The LNWR produced a lot of postcards of their trains, but the strange lady looking out of the train window is great. She almost looks like a tailor's dummy in a shop window.
ReplyDeleteBoth great cards, full of adventure and romance.
ReplyDeleteWonderful cards!
ReplyDeleteMethinks the lady has a stiff neck?! LOL
ReplyDeleteShe'll Get Covered In Soot Once The Train Sets Off!!!!
ReplyDeleteYes, that lady certainly looks uncomfortable; perhaps worried a little too much about her hat?
ReplyDeleteVery nice. On our recent trip to London, my wife and I lamented the loss to modernity of those old coaches with the windowed doors and their separate compartments.
ReplyDeleteThat lady is sort of creepy looking....as if she's a phantom or something! OOooohhh........
