Konnarock Virginia Depot With Locomotive Real Photo Postcard
The postcard captures a steam locomotive and passenger cars belonging to the Elizabeth Dam Railroad (ELIZ'BETH DAM R.R.), likely around 1915, as indicated by a handwritten annotation. Chartered in 1891, this short line railroad primarily operated in the Elizabeth, Pennsylvania area, connecting coal mines and other local industries to the vital Monongahela River transportation network. The locomotive appears to be a 4-4-0 American type, a ubiquitous design for both passenger and light freight service during that era.
