RE: (erielack) Phoebe Snow knows
Great postcard again! Any guesses as to what the scene is representative
of? The Delaware Water Gap, possibly?
And not only was she in print, I believe that there were also
models/actresses that portrayed Phoebe Snow at special events (or so this
list has said before, I think...)
Did the singer Phoebe Snow take her name from the train/ character?

I brought home the other five Phoebe Snow postcards and scanned them. I will
post them to the list over the next few days.
I appreciate all the helpful information about Phobe Snow, but would like to
ask one last thing about it/her to make sure I understand the answers
correctly. I was confused by the dates of the 'streamliner Phoebe Snow'
because I collect vintage clothing and I could see by the clothing on Phoebe
Snow that the era in these postcards (which are later reprints) was about
1905 -- the era of the pigeon-breasted clothing women wore. When I saw the
answers about the Phoebe Snow arriving after WWII I wasn't sure I understood
this all.
Am I correct now in understanding that the Phoebe Snow thing was just an ad
campaign ca. 1905-1910 (or for what years?) but the train called the Phoebe
Snow did not appear until after WWII? Was it just the engine that was called
Phoebe Snow, or was the whole train properly called The Phoebe Snow?
Thank you again.
