Advertising postcard for the Rock Island Railroad featuring a drawing of a woman and two children waiting for the train. The woman is wearing a long blue cape over her dress, a blue hat with a white ribbon, and is holding a walking stick. The smaller child is wearing a yellow long-sleeve shirt and short, yellow socks, black shoes, and a wide-brimmed hat with a red ribbon. The taller child is wearing a short-sleeve red dress with yellow stripes, yellow sock and shoes, and a hat with ribbon at the top. She has a bag strapped over her left shoulder. They are standing on the platform with the train arriving; several palm trees are across the tracks and mountains are in the background. Text at the bottom right of the card: “Little journeys here and there; Scenes of beauty everywhere—in California. The de luxe “Golden State Limited” provides a Buffet-Library-Observation Car.”
