That's Malvern, Iowa, between Red Oak and Pacific Jct. I've attached a better image of the postcard view, along with another image of the depot, probably taken the same day. The depot, like the one at Red Oak, was built early in the 20th century when the
line between Creston and P. Jct. was relocated to a more level grade. The locomotive is A-6 No. 472, originally the 550, best known for hauling the Fast Mail across Iowa when it was new. Nos. 11-12 in 1912 were all-stops locals running daily between Chicago
and Burlington and daily-except-Sunday between Creston and Denver. Yes, for whatever reason, the trains did not operate between Burlington and Creston.

Group - Can anyone identify this station shown on an old postcard? It appears to be located on double track near a timber bridge in the far background:
 I'm also attaching the image. The station appears to be of masonry construction, rather than timber. From its consist, Train No. 11 looks to be an all-stops daily passenger. The second and maybe third cars appear to have flat roofs. Could they be milk
cars? What was Train No. 11? It's powered by what looks to me as a "modernized" Class A-2 4-4-0 type. Comments appreciated. Happy New Year - Louis
