- The card was originally produced by the Burlington Route in the time frame shown above with no copyright markings. The seller added marks which were apparently meant to stop copying of it.
- Before uploading this, I talked with user Quadell at en.Wikipedia. His opinion is that the card is in the public domain and that PD-pre 1978 licensing applies.
- I have removed the seller's marks but have archived the links to his/her original copies.
