People more familiar with the WHS collections may recognize this real photo post card, but it is new to me. I wonder if repairs to the railroad tracks were being made and everyone had to get transfer to buses when they reached Wenonah? If you know what was going on in the photo from what I estimate to be the 1940s please share your information. The card is currently available on ebay.
