For sale is a vintage divided back postcard featuring a locomotive engineer driving train 2517, accompanied by an illustrative poem.
LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEER
Perched high within his trembling cab,
Above the ever flying wheel,
A thousand lives within his hand,
He guides the mighty horse of steel.
With steady nerves he knows no fear
All hail the stalwart engineer!
