DescriptionChicago and Alton Railroad Shops Bloomington Illinois.JPG
English: Postcard depiction of the Chicago and Alton Railroad shops in Bloomington, Illinois.
Date
Not mailed or otherwise dated. While it appears to be before 1923, there's no proof that it is, so am licensing it as pre 1978. The railroad no longer existed after 1947.
The card has no copyright markings on it as can be seen in the links above.
