Orange Blossom Special

These matchbook covers are going to be a Christmas gift for my train enthusiast Father-in-Law.  Since he doesn't have a computer and I think they're cool I decided to share them here.  I'm guessing the matchbooks and the trains they promote are from the 1940's-1950's era.

Even though this picture was taken in 1941 it still rang a bell with me.  It was taken at the Wilson Avenue "L" stop on the north side of Chicago.

 Here's a more recent shot of a restored train.

These next two are both promoting the Hiawatha Line.

The Orange Blossom Special inspired this classic in 1938.
