How about  pictures of anything built before 1930.

The prototype of Walthers Union Station is actually Omaha's Burlington Station which opened in the early 20th Century but went through an extensive remodeling in a joint effort with the building of the final Omaha Union Station. The two stations were joined by the over the track concourse and were completed in 1930. Happily, both stations have been repurposed and are in use today.

Show me something pre-WWII.

This PRR E6 Atlantic even predates the Great War being built in 1914:

The I1s up above are more recent being built from 1916 to 1923, still 'pre-War', though.

More anything pre WWII, please.

This Penn Central X77 box car was built in the late 1960s, early '70s and has now been updated with a post-merger paint job, a consolidated COT&S stencil and an ACI label, another sign of the 1970s:
