Accession/Object ID: 2006.32.82, Object Name: Print, Photographic, Description: (#82) Postcard showing an NP 4-4-0 steam locomotive with a passenger train next to Snohomish-Everett Interurban Car #378 at Snohomish, with a number of men in between. A cutout of a U.S. Mail pouch is added to the front, along with a handwritten caption "Here's a pouch you must have overlooked [96] I (illegible)." [0d] [0a] [09] On the back is written, "The mail bag is pasted on the original postcard as a joke to my Great Grandfather Goodrich who picked up the mail at this train stop & delivered it to the post office." Along the right margin the publisher data has what appears to be Milwaukee No. 1142 or 3, the line cut off half way up.` Mail to Snohomish came by rail on the NP, outgoing bags picked up from the "tree" by a hook on the car as the train passed and incoming unloaded by dumping the bags onto the station, where they were taken to the post office on 1st and Avenue B. Interurban service lasted from December 1903 until the disastrous flood of December 1921.- per David Cameron, 2005, Granite Falls Historical Society,Photos,Museum Collection,General Photos,General Photos 11,Print, Photographic (2006.32.82),Print, Photographic (2006.32.82) 1, Print, Photographic (2006.32.82) 1
