Beautiful 1907 vintage postcard depicting the Boston & Maine Railroad (B&M) Station in Newburyport, Massachusetts, featuring a classic steam locomotive at the platform as passengers gather nearby. The detailed illustration captures the charm of early 20th-century rail travel—complete with horse-drawn wagons, a semaphore signal, and the station’s distinctive covered platform with a sign reading “Newburyport.”Postmarked July 20, 1907, this early divided-back postcard includes a 2¢ red Washington stamp and is addressed to Henry Malliam, East Jeffrey, New Hampshire. Printed in Germany, known for their superior lithographic printing of the “Golden Age of Postcards,” this card was part of the Raphael Tuck & Sons / Detroit Publishing Co.-style production era, when train and station scenes were highly collectible.The Boston & Maine Railroad, established in the 1830s, became one of New England’s most important transportation lines, connecting cities from Boston to Portland and beyond. The Newburyport station played a vital role in the region’s commercial and commuter traffic, particularly during the railroad’s peak in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.This postcard beautifully conveys that history through rich color lithography and intricate architectural detail—showing both the romance and industrial energy of the American railway age.Details:Subject: B&M Railroad Station, Newburyport, MassachusettsPublisher: Printed in GermanyPostmark: July 20, 1907Stamp: Red 2¢ George WashingtonCard Number: 20586Era: Divided Back (1907–1915)Back: Mailed, written message and addressCondition: Excellent early example; bright color, minor corner wearA superb piece for collectors of railroad history, New England ephemera, or early 1900s transportation postcards—showcasing a beautifully preserved view of the Golden Age of Steam in Newburyport.
