A little history regarding the railway mentioned in the postcard caption: The Argentine Central Railway was a 3 foot, narrow gauge railroad, built from the Colorado & Southern Railway at Silver Plume, Colorado to Waldorf, Colorado, (now a ghost town) and then onward up to the summit of Mount McClellan. Construction was started for the railway on August 1, 1905 and first opened one year later. It was intended for and used to carry tourists, as well as for use in the silver mining industry that was prevalent in the area. (Wikipedia)

Divided back, used postcard. Postmarked in Holbrook, Nebraska, March 25, 1912. Publisher unknown. No. 6353.
