Step back in time with this charming greetings card from Lima, Ohio, USA, circa 1940. The vibrant image showcases the iconic buildings of Lima, home to the world-renowned Lima Locomotive Works. Established in the late 1800s, this industrial powerhouse produced locomotives that graced railways across the globe, from the 1870s to the 1950s. The heart of this bustling city was its manufacturing industry, and the Lima Locomotive Works was its crown jewel. The bright orange hues of the locomotives, proudly displayed in the foreground, were a common sight in Lima and beyond. The smokestacks of the factories, billowing white plumes into the sky, symbolized the hard work and innovation that fueled the American industrial revolution.
