Swampy’s Florida Friday Train Stops: F.E.C. Staff & Crew pose in 1939 Miami.

by SwampysFlorida on February 22, 2024 at 6:00 am

I found this photo on the Miami Transit website and the photograph has this caption:

‘Staff and crew of the Florida East Coast Railway by the streamliner “Henry M. Flagler” in 1939. The Railey-Milam hardware store in the background was founded in 1902 and was a prominent Miami business for decades.’

Here’s the webpage: http://www.transitmiami.com/history/miami-time-machine
Why are so many in Dade County switching words around????

That’s Sophie, the macaw, on the slide as director Rich Naegeli balances a couple other birds. The unmailed postcard invites visitors to the “admission-free Busch Gardens”.

This postcard is part of the Swampy’s Florida collection.
