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.

Man O War

 The Central of Georgia "Man O' War", one of two name trains operated by the railroad, ran from Columbus to Atlanta. The other name train was the Nancy Hanks II that served Atlanta and Savannah. Both trains were inaugurated in 1947 and ended their runs in 1970 and 1971 respectively when Amtrak took over passenger operations from the parent company, Southern Railway. For more information on the Central of Georgia Railway, follow the link Here.
