Date: Circa 1910
Inscription/Marks: [front-print] Great Northern Yards and Viaduct, Minot, N.D. [back-written] Dear Cousin-received your card. Was glad to hear from you say it found us well hope you are the same. Weather is fine would like to come see you but it would take a lot of money and money is scarce with us this year. If we go to Canada we will have lots of money. I will come out then some day. Well good by, write me at Devils Lake N.D. Will write more next time, Your cousin N.D. L.S.D. [addressed] Mr. William Mooney, Marengo, Ill.
Summary: A rail yard with a bridge in the distance. There is a grain elevator on the other side of the bridge. A few trains are parked in the distance. A man stands on top of the bridge next to a horse and wagon. The far bridge is the Anne Street pedestrian bridge. The railroad companies built “yards” in certain cities along the line. At the yards, the trains cars were attached to or detached from the engines. The engines were repaired at the yards. Special equipment, such as snow removal engines were stored at yards. Many railroad workers worked at these rail centers, such as this Great Northern yard in Minot.
