Description
A long articulated subway train is shown at a station platform with multiple tracks in the foreground. The cars are painted in a warm orange-brown tone and stretch across most of the image. Dense trees rise behind the station roof, giving the scene an outdoor exhibit feel. The card references a 1927 transit exhibit and the train shown ran on the Sea Beach line, 1927.
