- Description on Verso: "End of an Era--- Almost: Although the hustle and bustle of a busy train station has become something of the past, one train still chugs into Union Station in Atlanta each day, Making the run from St. Louis. There is some talk by L & N of taking the train off its route. If that happens, Union Station will become as obsolete as the NRA. But until then, the train keeps rolling, bringing with it a touch of the past in an era when trains are looked at with the same curiosity one gives an electric automobile. Station Master C. W. Turner stands in front of the station probably realizing that his charge has become more of a museum piece than a center of transportation. At right he chats with the engineer."
