\"About 5000 ft. up this mount today... steep grade 62%... I want you to notice the circular bridge at the top of the card. This does not begin to show what it was. It was fun and a little bit scary.\" This wonderful personal account from 1908 captures the thrill of riding this historic engineering marvel.
Condition:
Used and posted. The card shows some corner softening and minor edge wear consistent with its age and transit through the mail. There is light toning and a faint pencil mark \"100\" on the back.
Please carefully review the high-resolution front and back scans provided in the photos to determine the exact condition for yourself before purchasing.
