This postcard depicts the World's Fastest Locomotive. The back of the card tells us that the run was made by the Broadway Limited of the Pennsylvania Railroad on Monday, June 12, 1905, when it ran 127.1 miles an hour between AY tower and Elida, Ohio. The Broadway Limited was pulled by coal-burning steam Locomotive 7002, and although many swift runs have been made in recent years by steam, electric and diesel locomotives, none have equaled the 127.1 miles an hour record run established in 1905.

At the Chicago Railroad Fair of 1949, Locomotive 7002 stands on a section of P.R.R. standard roadbed with rails weighing 155-pounds to the yard--heaviest in the world.

You will notice from the picture that the border is narrower at the top than the bottom. This vintage postcard is in excellent condition.

I will be happy to combine purchases to save on shipping costs. International orders are always welcome.
