Elmo Pennsylvania F&C, LS&MS, NYC Railroads Depot Real Photo Postcard
The Elmo depicted in this image is a rural train station, likely dating to the early 20th century given the attire, horse-drawn buggy, and architectural style. Such stations were vital arteries for commerce and passenger travel, connecting smaller settlements to larger rail networks. The presence of piled logs in the background suggests that Elmo, like many towns along emergent rail lines, might have been a logging or timber hub, relying on the railroad to transport raw materials to markets.
