Welcome to Vintage Railroad Postcards!

Thank you for stopping by! This is the blog for the Russell P. Panecki Collection of vintage railroad-related postcards. The entire collection consists of nearly one thousand so far with images dating from circa 1904 to the 1950s. To leave a comment, ask a question, to contribute or correct historical information, a comment box is located to the left for your convenience.

Each page, including this homepage, has an index located in the lower portion of the page. In addition to the index, posts were updated with historical information, new postcards added from storage files, while some posts were completely rewritten or edited for corrections. Three articles have been added and are worth reading. They include how vintage postcards were made, the history of Pennsylvania Station, and the history of Grand Central Terminal.

My apologies, but the postcards in my collection and on this blog are not available for sale, copying, or for contribution to projects. Please keep in mind that I reserve all rights to the images and content of this blog.

Arrow, Colorado

Arrow, Colorado was a scenic stop on the Denver, Northwestern and Pacific Railway also known as 'The Moffat Road'. Named for its builder, David Moffat, The Moffat Road was the first railroad constructed that provided a direct route west out of Denver over the Continental Divide. In this circa 1915 view,  passengers gather trackside to enjoy the view of the surrounding mountains. The station previously  consisted of a log cabin-style structure that can be seen just behind the newer one. For more information on 'The Moffat Road', click Here.
