A train dressed in roses and forget-me-nots, with the words "To my Valentine" across its front, sets this picture apart from the usual sentimental cards. Decorated trains were a familiar sight at festivals and celebrations in the early 1900s, when railways were central to town life and a bright display could be seen by whole communities. The forget-me-not, long linked with faithful love and remembrance, pairs with the roses to carry the holiday's message onto a working machine.
