Here is the first index page of a comprehensive French railroad station

Thanks to Paul Y for the heads-up!
I have started adding postcards to this section, along with other infrastructure type things
like towers, bridges and tunnels, and any other "stuff" I think might be relevant,
interesting, or cool. While a lot of postcards, especially from the mid 1900's and
earlier, are not photographically accurate, they nonetheless portray a part of American
history and hence their inclusion. At one time, many corner drug stores had their
own postcards printed to show off were they were and what the owners thought were
significant "things" to show off to the rest of the world (providing they were
sent out :-). In many instances, they may be the only pictures around of
some stations.
Sources for these images comes from places like EBay, Google Images, Bing Images,
Google's Books, some university's digital libraries, the Library of Congress, and
other miscellaneous sources such as web pages. If the photographer
and/or source is known, he/she/it will be noted.
A note about the usage of STATION vs DEPOT (sent to me by Chuck S.): My understanding
is that a station is a physical location, while a depot is a building. Station
apparently is a technical term applicable to timetables, such as a passing siding
with nothing but a sign. It is a legal place in terms of employees obligations
to comply with a timetable. But it doesn't need to have a depot in order to
still be considered a station.
