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.

Right you are and I thank you for pointing that out! It was my typographical mistake and I made the correction. I checked several research sources and, from what I could find on Wikipedia...
"The community was originally known as 'Dresden Junction', as it was the point where the Cincinnati and Muskingum Valley Railroad met the Stuebenville and Indiana Railroad (which later became part of the Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis Railroad). It was also the site of the first railroad station for the nearby village of Dresden."
